Reply to comment by IamSauerKraut in Say good-bye to Dennysville: de-organization under consideration by IamSauerKraut

How does it benefit the Dennysville resident to pay for a town office that's only open one afternoon a week? They have to go to Pembroke most of the time anyway. Why not share the costs between all residents of those towns equally and provide better service?

No guarantee that sharing costs will provide better service.

As for the town office, if it is only open one day a week then that is probably done to reduce costs (no lights on; no high electric bill). As best as I can determine, there is no mortgage on the building so keeping it closed 6 days a week, if that is what they do, reduces the cost to townspeople.
