Ayer selectman answers Public Spirit reports

This letter is in response to the three articles and an editorial that appeared in the newspaper on October 23rd unfairly accusing the Board of Selectmen of a "leadership lapse" and unfairly accusing myself of "hubris".

This letter is nothing more than a Connie Sullivan save-face spin-speech for his own political purposes. It has nothing at all to do with what is best for Ayer... period

Isn’t it interesting that anonymous is always the preferred attack style (like the previous comment) of those to cowardly to sign their names to untruth.

Get over yourself Patrick ,We are entitled to
our opinions and we know Connie to well...
The matter and many others are not clear.

At least Mr. Hughes admits he personally knows Mr. Sullivan. But therein lies the rub, I suggest Mr. Hughes lacks objectivity.

Based on the posting, I think not.

Reluctantly I tarnish the memory of one of the world's most-loved children's authors but I've been waiting years to say this.....Patrick Hughes is the Marvin K Mooney of Ayer.
Patrick, go back to CA. We will do just fine without you bothering us again. Oh, yes, take Sullivan and your other pals with you.

[Dick Madigan]

is he friends with Mr Gilles and RayEllen? Because if he could take them too that would be great..

I thought Patrick lived in GROTON (haha)
