racial segregation, leading causes

times spent with Supreme Court Jus-
tice Thurgood Marshall at her home.
Our conversations most typically be-
gan with her references to the nation-
al and world situation, which she was
profoundly concerned about. Many
here in Barnstable likely have the im-
pression based on televised bi-weekly
council meetings that Eugenia was
absorbed in local affairs, yet this was
simply not the case. Eugenia Fortes'
life was dedicated to humanity itself
that we are all brothers and sisters.
Speaking up when others dared not
was one of her hallmarks.
Her spirit lives on in all of us who
knew her. We will never forget you, Dr.

Our Town Charter
The Patriot editor left a message
just prior to my writing, asking me
about the past and current efforts
by a dedicated group of volunteers
collecting the approximately 5,000
signatures required to place a bal-
lot question on the November 2007
Town ballot. The ballot question will
ask voters whether or not an elected
Charter Commission is desired. The
purpose of a Charter Commission is to
review our current Charter.
Upon completion of the signature
collection and signature certification
by our Town Clerk, the ballot question
goes forward and simultaneously any
number of candidates for nine Charter
Commission seats will be encouraged
to run on the same November 2007
Ballot.
The signature drive began about
a year ago with tremendous energy
and accomplishment. Last winter the
level of collection slowed, but later
this summer, interest among many
residents began to increase and the
effort now continues.
Charter Commissions have not been
unique to Barnstable,albeit this city
form of government,originally ad-
opted in 1989, will turn 20 years old
in three years. The volunteer Charter
Commission is charged with review-
ing our current local government over
a period of a year to 18 months and
concludes its work by making final
recommendations for improvements
with final approval or rejection made
by you, the voters.
This process,including the big
signature collection job . is completely
grass roots and controlled by resi-
dents from the bottom up. Therefore ,
our organization is a grass roots
movement. We do not have a leader
though, much better, we have the
power of true democracy!
This Charter review will happen
because it is the only way you, the
voter, own the process from beginning
to end. I am pleased to be working
with such a fine group of your friends
and neighbors to make government in
Barnstable better. We will be greeting
you on Election Day -Tuesday -ask-
ing you to sign the Charter Petition.
This movement by definition is not
about any individual; it is about you
- each and every resident of our town.
Inappropriate and
Inconsistent Public Policy
Your input has been critical during
my seven years on the Town Coun-
cil. Recently the input I received as
your representative has mattered
more than ever. You have expressed
your disapproval of giving away the
community asset known as zoning.
Constituents expressed disapproval
of legislation referred to as AHOD
(Affordable Housing Overlay Dis-
trict). Much has been written in these
pages about the AHOD proposal I
voted against.
Zoning was voted on from its incep-
tion by you and I am not in favor of
giving that away across the entire
town to gain four out of 10 units of
affordable housing. Our town's car-
rying capacity of additional housing
must be considered in a much more
critical way in all impact areas, such
as wastewater, traffic, drinking water,
environmental,infrastructure,and
cost of services. I heard tremendous
approval of the truly consistent and
effective growth policies a few years
ago like the building cap and acces-
sory affordable housing.
The general ordinance recently
passed that mandates your third bed-
room must not have more than one
adult living in it is extremely incon-
sistent with the increased building
density the AHOD proposal man-
dates. The only exception is people
under the age of 22. Mandating the
number of adults in your third or
fourth bedroom can't be an older cou-
ple or two workers in their late twen-
ties after your first two bedrooms are
occupied by two people is completely
incomprehensible to me and those of
you who contacted me.
