Charles Frank - Position Statements

Our Thoughts on this…

These position statements are definitely a step up from the summary he provided in his original biography which was distributed before Christmas. However, we see some concerns…

• I’m not sure we need another attorney advising this board. Legal outcomes should be the last resort when dealing with town issues. We need a caring, compassionate permanent town resident on our board who considers the reality of any local issue and who looks to do “the right thing” for the situation, not the legal thing.

• It is quite concerning that Charles feels it important to list all his credentials behind his name. It speaks of bureaucratic tendencies and being rigidly devoted to the details of administrative procedures.

• What does “I bring professionalism and balance in law to the supervisor position” mean? What does “balance in law” mean? What happened to common sense?

• How does being ‘new to politics’, relate to not being beholden to anyone?  There is no correlation between the two. What does being a good listener have to do with wanting people's views to count?  Again, no correlation.
