Recently there have been articles in the Sun Journal that make mention of a proposed audit in the town of Poland.

I understand that a few of the citizens of the town and some of the employees of the town are upset about the idea of an audit. My feeling is that the taxpayers would be pleased to have their money invested in something that could bring relief to the recently hired fire chief and to the newest members of the board of selectmen.

People who pay taxes in the town of Poland deserve to know their town’s financial status. Let’s not belittle the selectmen who are trying to do what’s best for the town. I understand some of the selectmen have been threatened. Let’s support them. After all, we elected them. The taxpayers were made aware that a proper audit hadn’t been done. I support this move and ask that other townspeople do the same. After all, it is the taxpayers’ money that was voted on in good faith.

Unless there is something to hide, I would think that employees of the town and their families and friends would be pleased to complete the audit, discover its findings, and then move on with the business of the town. Hopefully, everyone will walk away clean and happy with nothing found to be wrong.
