To the Editor:

How many is "many, many?" That is the question I asked of the Moultonboro Recreation Strategic Planning Committee while attending the listening session on June 28. They use the term "many, many" to tell us what people have said they want in a new Community Center. My question asked for a quantitative answer – is it three or 30 or 300? The committee will not put a number on it – not even an estimate.

Also when I asked how much the center will cost I was told I was ahead of the curve and that they don't know the cost. I can assure you it will cost "many, many" millions of dollars. How can anyone make an intelligent decision about a project if they do not know the cost?

This project will affect all Moultonboro taxpayers. The questions we should all be asking are:

- How much are the up front costs?

- How much will it cost to run on a yearly basis?

- How much will this project affect my annual taxes?
