The Sakonnet Times seems to have adjusted its strategy vis-à-vis publishing letters in the paper rather than online, so you’ll have to buy or borrow a copy of this week’s edition to read John Minior’s plea for a business-friendly Tiverton:
The trees on Souza Road do provide oxygen, but the site provides very few tax dollars to benefit taxpayers. There is nothing appealing to the eye from Souza Road to Route 24. …
The rezoning of Souza Road from a commercial to residential zone was a weapon Tiverton used to prevent a multimillion-dollar development from being realized because the simple denial stamp was having difficulty stopping it. Was there some kind of vendetta unleashed on the developers’ plan for the site?
Minior goes on to address the local industrial park and the power plant thereon in a similar way. Do we dare hope that the likes of he will begin to take the reins of town government?
