Helou Removed from Building Committee

I can’t say I’m surprised, but the audacity of this administration never ceases to amaze me. Case in point: Michele Helou is appointed to Our Town’s Building Committee. It’s no wonder she was invited: Michele has 15 years of architectural experience and is an expert on green buildings.

At her first meeting as part of the Committee, Helou was presented with the plan to turn Memorial Town Hall into the new police headquarters. What she saw made her cringe and she spoke up. That was a critical mistake.

As we know all too well, this administration is not keen on humoring (or even listening to) dissenting opinions. So, when Michele started her petition to stop the project, preserve several historic buildings, and relocate the police headquarters to a more suitable location, Henrici immediately removed her from the Committee.

This is a terrible loss for that Committee and for Our Town.

If you haven’t already done so, I urge you to sign Michele’s petition to stop this project.
