Seth Thomas House - Cha ching!


First of all, I'd like to say I liked it better when it was yellow and had a satellite dish on the side. Anyway, I'd like to thank all of the people who put thousands of hours into this building and piece of history. However, it is not a pet project for a few. This building is an asset that must generate revenue. Over $450,000 dollars of taxpayer money was put into purchasing this building. Thomaston currently budgets at least $10,000 per year to maintain it. The town has owned it for 2 1/2 years and it has yet to see it's first paid customer. The chairman should be made to get the building open, or be removed from the project immediately. Winners don't make excuses. Winners get things done. We need winners to lead this project.
What do we expect to get from this museum anyway? How many times is the average town resident going to go through the turnstiles to see an old house?
The current first selectman needs to get those doors opened a.s.a.p.
