The residents need to understand that a petition with the council is useless. There is an agenda here and development is what the current council wants (other than Mr DeWitt).

What is needed is a sit down session with the Town Manager to ask why the Town Planner did not recognize all statutory requirements when the towns Comprehensive Community Plan was written, but instead only took into account those statutes that favored development.

That is where this has to begin.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
