I watched on t.v. tonight as an ill Joerg Mayer made his announcement that he would indeed step down from the Select Board.
After making his statement, some confusion seemed to reign as the Board's lawyer and Pat D'Angelo, among others, argued about how and when a replacement would be made.
My question is, as a citizen of this town, and one who voted for the candidate who got the next highest number of votes, Audrey Garfield, I'd like to know why the Select Board would even THINK of deciding for anyone but Ms. Garfield to replace Mayer.
So if anyone can provide the names, email addresses, contact numbers, or whatever we need --- I would like to contact the Select Board members as a voter and remind them of their civic responsibility to we the people, we the voters of Brattleboro, to choose the replacement in a way that best represents us. I'd like to recommend Garfield as the replacement to Mayer.
I'm fired up and ready to call and write. Does anyone know the best way to make my voice heard?
