sentences: "In an October 2007 town meeting, Winneconnet Pond area residents spoke in favor of allocating a proposed $40,000 in funds to develop a weed control and dredging program for the pond which a spokesperson described “a weed-infested, mosquito breeding swamp.”
  
  Another resident complained, “We're living in unsanitary conditions…People can't sell their homes because we live on a swamp.” A town official said the project would cost the town an additional $15,000 to $20,000 per year besides the initial $40,000 expenditure.
