Well said Mr. Franks! A new town garage is needed, but not at that price tag. The town leadershipRead More needs to offer a far better option to the voters than this. I am also voting NO...

Hear, hear, Sarah. The real reason people are opposing this plan is a "not in my backyard"Read More attitude--it has nothing to do with cost. If so many people in town were so concerned about wasteful expenditures, we would have heard them complain about $3.6 million for a track and field! When the "dumb" location argument failed to make headway, the opponents to the "dumb" garage plan, acting purely out of self-interest and not for the common good, switched to a financial argument. You can't fool me: I voted yes.

@Larry. What are the 3 sites?
Larry Litton May 22, 2013 at 11:02 am
Wow Sarah, $5.4 million dollars is a modest investment? I'm clearly not in the same tax bracket asRead More you! As for facts being distorted, a great example of that is saying Canton "needs to purchase the land". That is absolutely not true, the reality is the selectmen CHOSE to buy land. There are 2 or 3 properties the town already owns that could have been used but the selectmen chose not to. And the site work that will be $1.3 million dollars at Commerce Drive would be considerably less at the already owned properties.

@Steve. Kudos! Nice to see some common sense and decency. The actions of "Citizens for aRead More Better Canton" have been shameful to say the least - attacking critics, distributing misleading information and attacking the good people who volunteer their time to make Canton a better place to live.

It makes me chuckle when someone spends weeks mudslinging, finger pointing, and pot shotting untilRead More the targets of their harassments speak up and then they decide the game is over, well sorry, I have only just begun. I was sickened by the behavior of certain people at the town meeting scheduled to discuss this garage project. Most of them where given a script to read using lies and incorrect numbers to attack members of town boards and commission. They attacked the intelligence, ethics, and integrity of members of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Finance, Permanent Municipal Building Committee and project consultants. You have even managed to involve our neighbors from Barkhamsted in your May 15 Patch submission, referring to them as “Hairshirt wearing radicals who don’t wash their cars”, again full of incorrect numbers and misinformation. I am attending a Board of Ethics Meeting tonight to defend myself from mud slung on me by those finger pointers trying to distract from the facts at hand. These very same people told this town that they wanted a football field and they wanted a pool. They said that the folks in Canton deserved these things. They understood that these things came with a price tag and they were ready to pay it. Funny how the song has changed now that we have changed our focus to a much less glamorous project. Perhaps if we were proposing a hockey rink or an equestrian team $5.4 million wouldn’t be so much.
