Letter in response to the story (below):
To the Editors:
Imagine my surprise to find out that there was a Plainville gambling consultant's forum on Wednesday night! I had been carefully watching the town website and the town's Posted Meetings page for any mention of the meeting, as I was not certain the meeting had been definitely set for that night. But there was nothing there. It's not even mentioned on the Gaming Consultants Report page.
I happen to be one of the people in town who IS paying attention to the question of slots in Plainville. To have held this forum without ANY mention of it on the town website is unconscionable, and I believe they should hold another one, this time with plenty of notice.
Really, Joe (Fernandes), how much effort does it take to walk the ten feet to the Town Clerk's office and ask her to post it on the website? But, I guess if it's not publicized, there's less chance anyone will express opposition. Shame on the town administrator and the board of selectmen for holding a so-called public forum without public notice.

Follow-up - Forum was on the Town website:
I just sent this to the Sun Chronicle:
Apparently the Plainville Gambling Consultants forum was posted on the Plainville website in the "News and Announcements" section — not a place any of us thought to look for a posted meeting. Still, it was buried in the website, and so I stand corrected. You should disregard my previous letter to the editor.
Thanks.
