Some of you may have seen this house. Follow the example!
A poster on your property is a starting point — people will see it and they’ll want to know more. Be sure to only post these on your own property. My thanks go to Al Sanders for providing the signs, the pictures in this post, and for leading the way!

Too many in town are familiar only with the propaganda passed out by W/S. They don’t realize what is at stake. If they did, there’d be signs all over town. What is the true cost of the proposed plan changes?
Help tear down the curtain. Let your neighbors know what’s going on! Make some calls! We have the power to turn this around, but it takes information. The police are patrolling the poles for tag sale .. lost dog signs … North-End signs (it is illegal to post on telephone poles, but who encouraged them to enforce this?). The Cheshire Herald only provides token coverage — they want the development and the ad revenue it will bring. This issue is big enough to be front-page every week. Meanwhile, the same position-holding property owners that plan to sell-out the town are running around tearing down signs, harassing residents, and sabotaging debate.
Even if the PZC votes ‘Yes’ to change the laws at the request of the developers, there’s some hope for an appeal.
from the zoning regs

a. One (1) or more signs per lot, the total aggregate signage per lot not to exceed 8.5 square feet in R-80, R-40, R-20 and R-20A Districts, and 32 square feet in C-1, C-2, C-3,
I-1, and I-2 and Interchange Districts.

Why doesn’t anyone want the public to see what’s going on at the P&Z meetings regarding the 400 acre Interchange Zone that will affect Cheshire’s future forever. The meetings are not televised even though the person that runs the camera is already there and the minutes of these meetings are not put on the P&Z Recent Minutes site. There is a total information blackout to 29,000 Cheshire residents. There are more than enough people to blame, the Chair of the P&Z, Voelker, Matt Hall and the Town Manager. All of them support the zone change and the W/C development. Anyone of them could either make these things happen or could sufficently force the issue to make it happen, but none of them want to.
