This I thought was settled and obvious with Historic Preservation Commission.<br /> Mr. Foreman is not alone in this, nor are Galvan properties. Conflict of interest are conflicts of interests and I thought progress had been made, in HPC, Planning board, Zoning board, <br />Assessors board etc. Knowing when to recuse yourself, is not difficult.<br />Prison Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10059050028975347899noreply@blogger.com
