PA R A : We are not only considering the impact of the next <br /> or 9 y.ea'r , we 'also have to be veer aware of <br /> what we -acre 'doing to the- Town of Mashpee 55 or .80 <br /> years from now. None of us are going to be here . <br /> It' s an all new ball game with new people. <br /> We want to have' a tool, a mechanism here, that those <br /> people can inf act b e heard and represented which this <br /> document does refer to in the South Cape Beach Advisory <br /> Committee-, We are- not looking and talking about the <br /> next 3, 4, or 5 years . <br /> 'SELECTMAN GARLAND: I have a question for Mrs, Thomas, Mr. Martiros - and <br /> Town Counsel, Have any of you seem written approval <br /> from the Attorney General ' s office of that document <br /> All responded no. <br /> V TE _1 As you talk about what' s going to happen in years <br /> to come , this is what we are thinking. This is <br /> the reason we formed our committee. W -know what <br /> it is going to be doing - it' s going to be developing. <br /> We want to know that you people aro with us, we just <br /> can' t stand -anymore big development. <br /> CHAIRMAN: Without the pressure and the Town we would not have <br /> been able to get the Agreement we have presently <br /> out of the' Commonwealth of Massachusetts , We <br /> probably would have gone more and more of a carte <br /> }Manche taking -by the Commonwealth <br /> VOTER: It certainly is good to hear you say that the <br /> Selectmen are concerned about. what's ci g to happen <br /> 85 years from now because I think that is what the <br /> Town Meeting said the other night, Thev are not <br /> as concerned about 5 years -from now as they. are about <br /> 50 years from now. Early someone said that we didn' t <br /> trust our Selectmen. In our estimation the selectmen <br /> act upon the .will of the people of the Town. Town <br /> Counsel keeps referrinq to the Town. Well to rine the <br /> Town is the- people of the Town and they spoke up the <br /> other night. One other thine Nor, Benway it was mentioned <br /> that if a change was substantial you could. again call <br /> another Town Meeting- . I. think that if that happens , <br /> there. will be clot of us 'that will be pretty discouraged <br /> because I guess- some of us have the feeling that when <br /> the chips are down you three Selectmen really aren' t <br /> listening to us. <br /> CHAIRMAN: On the contrary. We are li-stening to the townspeople <br /> and on the contrary because we didn't have to go to <br /> Town Meeting for any of the discussion, any of the <br /> vote at all . we could have crude. the decision whether <br /> to go with or against the State proposal right here <br /> with these three people. Because we- didn't, I think <br /> controverts completely your ar uement that we have <br /> faith in the people out there, we went out to hear <br /> them and we .heard. All we are saying tonight is <br /> -1 - <br />
