Selectman I larsters: well, I myself have been doing my hom' ework. I know what <br /> sovereign nation means, and it simply means a go ermment to <br /> governnnent relationship that leaves the town out of the loop. <br /> And, I don't think anybody can disagree with that. <br /> Selectman Cahalane: ...I'm saying that if we bring Dale and Torr down, we've spent <br /> over $40,000 (over the last few years) on them already, so let's not <br /> talk expenses to bring them down...but I mean, let's not talk <br /> expense to bring them down... <br /> Selectman Reveille: I'm not so sure that Hale and Torr is the appropriate vehicle. <br /> Selectman Cahalane: They are our lagers. If we can't ask the people who are <br /> representing us, and supposedly advising us, who do we ask? <br /> Selectman l laxsters; well, we have a limited timetable dere, The timetable has been <br /> pushed up by the Tribal Council. Everyday that goes b , if we <br /> don't cone up and give an opinion, it's another nation, actually, <br /> another town unheard of. I know what sovereign nation means and <br /> we can have our attorneys come down here and tell us exactly what <br /> I know, but I'm not going to change my mind. I've studied it. I've <br /> studied it hard because it's a big issue for the townspeople. I think <br /> that if you feel comfortable about taking a vote tonight terms of <br /> whether or not sovereign nation or not... <br /> Selectman Cahalane: I think that we would be more comfortable bringing our lawyers <br /> down.., I really do. <br /> Selectman Reveille. I think that there are two issues, I really do. I thunk we have over <br /> the last three years, three years plus pretty much educated <br /> ourselves on what it means...believe it I mean.. I have a file on <br /> this... <br /> Selectman Cahalane: Self educated David, I have to...I just want to make a statement. I <br /> have never seem one lawyer face to face from Hale and Torr. I <br /> think that is the least we can do,. <br /> Selectman Leveille: Okay, that is true. Ret me finish.what I was going to say, and then <br /> I will respond to that. I feel like this board has pretty much <br /> educated itself as to what is going on. we do owe and want to <br /> have some sort of forum. I thunk we absolutely need to have that <br /> for the public, whether.nt consists of lawyers or whoever it is, some <br /> form of forum to educate the public as to what this means as-well. <br />
