I read with interest BHTM Sutherland's suggestions for line item budgeting. "Town Manager Kevin Sutherland who recommended that Barry and task force members think of “buckets of priorities” and then think of how much money is needed for projects in the upcoming year (and future) for those priorities, find the clear costs and then split those costs in different appropriate line items within the budget."

For months I have inquired of Town officials how Public Works allocates its resources and particularly of members of the Town Council. I have never received any answers. This Summer Sutherland diverted Public Works/Highway Division resources to a campaign of threats, lies, and erasure in his effort to suppress a legitimate public outreach project which NE Harbor resident Leonard Leo objected to. Sutherland had no jurisdiction over this project. I would like to know: which 'bucket' of BH town priorities Sutherland dipped into to fund his campaign; how much time and money Sutherland diverted; which legitimate projects paid for it by having their resources depleted; and how the expenditures were itemized in official records.
