In a culture where deceit is the coin of the realm, Groton town government can hardly be accused of being above board, upfront and honest with the public. The Mystic River Bluffs abomination exemplifies Groton government on high octane.
Now that the zoning commission seems to have rejected the town’s dream of a floating zone, Planning and Development Director John Reiner says the “ball is in Respler’s court.” Wrong! Respler and his proposal have been found wanting. Zoning commissioners have effectively nullified the plan. The state has terminated Respler’s Oral School lease. It is time to close the court, retrieve the ball, and open a new round of proposals, this time ensuring full public participation and transparency.
