Start With Why

Share article

To the editor:

The only spokesperson is the select board, all five of them. They are pushing the sale of Greensboro’s Town Hall.
The only fearmongering, the deliberate arousing of public fear, is the fear of those in town to speak up due to possible retribution.

How can one be fearful of facts? The only fear in this case is of facing the facts, the truth. Certain members of our community have taken the time to research and provide facts to the community. 

They have deliberately dug deep so that the community can cast their ballot based on an educated decision on April 29. 

The sourced facts are the focal point, not the identification of who provided the information.

Start with why: the better question.

Why are these facts, this information, coming from the community rather than the town governance? 

Why is the community being asked to vote on a town-changing and divisive issue without any facts? 

Why has the select board not provided factual answers to questions they have been asked for over a year? 

Why is the truth not evident?

This is frightening. 
Be thankful for this gift of information, of facts. Do the homework. Research the facts. 

Ask why rather than who.

Due diligence before the sale, not afterward.
