Letter to the Editor

Editor,

It is frustrating to read your article concerning the Saratoga Town Council’s concern for finding housing for the recruits for the police department. As the Sun pointed out in a June article, the master plan of 2016 listed affordable housing to be an issue that needs to be addressed. At the June planning commission meeting the need for the town to address the housing issue was raised, and the body language of the Mayor told of his disgust at the fact the issue was raised.

Only now has the town council even addressed the need of affordable housing. Unfortunately, they are being myopic and looking at the issue for only three potential employees. The council needs to find a solution for the town as a whole. There is a new hospital being built in Saratoga. Will we have a brand new hospital that will not be in service because the hospital will not be able to be staffed?

Sincerely,

Steven R. Niccolls
