Is Doug Lambert someone you really want on the school board?

To the editor,

Attention Gilford voters: Do you know who is running for School Board and

Budget Committee? Sue Allen and Kurt Webber are running for re-election.

Both Sue and Kurt are parents of Gilford graduates and are also very much

involved in the community. I urge supporters of the Gilford schools to

vote for Kurt and Sue. I would also encourage voters to support Phyllis

Corrigan (a current budget committee member) along with new comers Allen

Voivod and Richard “Rags” Grenier. These three individuals would help

change the look of the Budget Committee to one that not only will

scrutinize the budget, but will do so in a manner that is professional and

respectable.

Running against Kurt and Sue for school board is Doug Lambert. Remember

him? Two years ago he resigned from the Gilford Budget Committee stating, “I am retiring fully to private life!” Well, he’s baaaccck! Why did he resign? Let me refresh your memory! On Gilford Grok — live — he went on a tirade referring to Ray Buckley as a “reprobate” and another word that shouldn't be printed in the newspaper. Also stating, “I said it and I meant it!” In the background, the person laughing hysterically was Skip Murphy, who is running for re-election to the Budget Committee (do you really want to re-elect him?).

Is Doug Lambert someone you want to be on the Gilford School Board, making decisions that could affect your child’s education? I don’t think so!

Below is a link to an audio of the “incident” that I highly encourage you to listen to. It is extremely offensive but I feel people need to know about these two men in order to make an informed decision regarding the elections.

If you do not want to type in the URL, simply go to www.youtube.com, type

in “Doug Lambert” and the audio will come up. You listen, you make the

decision!

Barbara Aichinger is also running for a spot on the Budget Committee. Again, another person with no ties whatsoever to the town or schools other than being involved in numerous petitioned warrant articles on the town and school ballot. Barbara is another individual who is not concerned with supporting the town and schools but with cutting the taxes on her rental properties in town.

Before voting in March, be aware of the numerous petitioned warrant articles on both the town and school ballots. They are way too lengthy to describe and discuss in this letter!

I moved to Gilford 23 years ago because of its reputation of being a

great place to raise children. The services we get from the town and

schools are second to none! Please get out to vote for the candidates who

you feel will help Gilford continue to be the best place to live in the

Lakes Region, the ones who are involved in the community, not the ones who

just want to cut their own tax bills!
