Letter: Response to ‘Redlining’ letter

Published: 01-27-2023 7:00 AM

I notice how Mr. Owers doesn’t respond to any of the specific issues about the Conservation Commission in his recent Letter to the Editor (Monitor, 1/24) but speaks in broad generalizations about open space. So let me ask three specific questions.

1. Is it appropriate and defensible that four members of the Conservation Commission have been on this body for approximately twenty years while new applicants are denied the opportunity to serve? 2. The city has a purported diversity and inclusion program. Describe one action the commission has taken relative to this supposed policy, or to serve less advantaged neighborhoods in Concord 3. What recourse do taxpayers have when the Conservation Commission does not manage its forests adequately?
