I have learned from multiple sources that the Town Manager is trying to void the signatures of those of you who have signed the petition. I'm not absolutely positive, but I believe that doing so would violate our right to petition the government as stated under the First Amendment of the Constitution.
If you still don't want the Stone House razed, PLEASE CALL Chuck Unroe, the Town Manager and the members of Town Council. The numbers are listed below. When I posted their numbers on facebook, someone complained to facebook and they put me in facebook jail for 3 weeks.
I don't know what Chuck is up to but it wouldn't surprise me if he razed the building to spite those who want it saved.
Utilizing the building as a columbarium would bring in thousands of dollars into the town which would pay for the upkeep of not only Mountain View Cemetery, but also Red Hill and Crown Hill which the town currently incurs.
Please call the Town Manager and the Town Council. Make your thoughts known. Thank you.
