Responce to anonymous

hello anonymous too bad i don't know your name. at first i was kind of peeved at your question but as i thought about it for a second i realized you've given me an opportunity to set the record straight. so thank you. i sincerely mean that and you'll see why in a second. i am susan montgomery wright that is my official name at town hall. i am the oldest of 6 daughters of john and mary montgomery of 51 bradford st in holbrook. i am married to steve wright sr. we have 2 sons steve jr and nate.the woman you referred to as my grand mom is really steve's mom yvonne wright my mother in law. she is also linda austins grand mother. she is a great mother in law. she doesn't own the property steve and i always wanted to live on any more, mike mullins does. we love the pastures not because of what it was worth money wise but because steve's dad worked so hard to get it and because it is so beautiful. not maybe right now due to it's abuse by 4 wheelers etc but in it's natural state you won't find a nicer piece of property.that is why we were so in favor of mullins project too. we don't stand to gain one dime from his development as far as the land goes. we sold it long before he knew it existed. i think a little history lesson is called for here. but it is kind of a long story. i'll just answer the question. you asked if my motive was really to help the town or to protect the land; it is both. even if we were to move away and sadly if the transfer station comes in that is just what we will do; it is still not feasible for a town that is 7.3 sq miles to have a facility like the one proposed and not adversely affect the whole town especially like i said from the square to randolph over to avon and back to brookvile sq.we live in that area now and also if and when we go to english rd... by the way in case you're not aware where english rd is it is a tiny dead end street in the grove. it backs up to the cochato river, baird and maguire, and the south st well field. when we were fighting about baird and maguire it was to protect everyone but also to protect the place that we hoped to live eventually. we were very open about that just like i am now. the EPA and the DEP and the Army Corp all knew what our objective was.so did anyone else who asked me. we knew we couldn't keep the whole pastures for ourselves so this is as close as we could get to living there. as far as whether i am looking out for the town in general i will tell you another piece of history. back in the 80's we asked town meeting to rezone our property ( the pastures) to R4 so Campanelli the development Co could put in high quality condo's. we have had many, many offers to buy the land in the past. we always looked at the proposal and weighed it as to how it would impact the town and the land itself. if it wasn't good we didn't entertain it. steve and i got up at our first town meeting and promised that if the members rezoned the land we would not ever sell it for apartments. a deal for apartments came along after Campanelli went away. steve and i did everything in our power to get rid of them. it cost us a lot of money. one person whose name you would surely recognize told steve at a baseball game and i quote"what is the matter with you, why don't you take the money and run? these people are just a bunch of blue collar dummies who don't deserve any better." steves response was because we promised that's why. we have stood by that promise to this day. when we sold the land to family golf we thought they would put in a golf course. we had proposed one ourselves so we thought it would be good. it turned out that family golf was not the company we thought it was and thankfully they went belly up. that's how mike ended up getting it from the company who was holding it from family golfs bankruptcy in chicago. i hope this clears up your question. i know it was a long response but you asked me.
