Leave Berlin issues to Berlin residents
To the editor:
I am writing in response to Mr. Borowski’s Wednesday letter to the editor. First off I would like to say I feel strongly that everyone is welcome to their own opinion and should be urged to voice it. But I also think that when something is not your concern you should mind your business. What goes on in Gorham is none of my business, what goes on in Berlin is none of his business. He will not have smoke blowing through his property. He will not have to listen to the constant hum of chippers. He will not have to listen to trucks driving up the Cleveland stretch with their jake brakes sounding off. He will not have to go with his grandchildren to a park where he is in the shadow of that eyesore. If he feels so strongly about this mill running he should start a petition in Gorham to have it moved to the Gorham Common. I’ll be the first to sign it. Another issue is Laidlaw is saying people who are opposed to this power plant are a minority and they have 500 people who signed a petition that are in favor. Well, first of all there are around 10,000 people in Berlin so that may leave 9,500 who are against it. Also, I try to make it a point to ask the opinion of anyone I talk to about this issue, so far I have talked to around five people who favor it and many more who do not. I think Laidlaw needs to do a little more research.
