In response to articles and editorials in our local papers as of May 29, as one who spent many a baffling hour serving on the Wiscasset/Edgecomb Bypass Task Force, I cannot feel sympathetic to the business owners within the Historic Village area of the town of Wiscasset.

Thanks to The Lincoln County News for sending a reporter to take pictures and create a story centered around Riverside Park.

I want it known, after much consideration, I will not be making a motion to adjourn the May 31 town meeting, and I hope no one else will either.
