Francis City Letters to the Editor

I urge all Francis residents to get out and vote on Tues, November 6th. We will be deciding new council members, and the fate of Hilltop Road. We are at a critical point in Francis’s history; poised on the edge of a build-out period that will shape our future forever. As taxpayers, we will decide who ushers us through the next several years of growth. Hopefully, the new and existing council members will unify and work hand-in-hand with our Planning Commission, who is our first line of defense in protecting our vision. Their calculated reports and opinions serve a vital purpose. We expect a transparent government who will embrace public input and participation. We should not have to endure ridicule or negative statements against any one group of residents, which continually divides our town into “us vs. them”. We expect town officials to take personal responsibility for, and encourage others to, raise the standards of how they behave and conduct business. Our new town council should also demand a knowledgeable and organized town office, able to produce documents in a timely manner and without bias. Most critical is the need for a town website, allowing us access to documents such as Agendas, Minutes, Budgets, and Department Reports. With the current outdated mindset, there is resistance to making this information readily available to the residents, and chasing it down can be a challenge. Francis town does not belong to any one man or woman. It is “our” town. Let your voice be heard! Vote on November 6th.
Sincerely,Tal Adair
Francis Resident
