Don't Forget to Vote Today
Due to the recent rains the town roads are mess. Pothole damage to cars is the order of the day. Yes the Highway Department has tried to mark the bad spots with signs and has done a good job of getting the signs up in a timely manner but that hasn’t stopped many front ends from finding their way to the mechanic over the last few days.
When you go to the polls on Monday keep that in mind. The School wants you to fund their "Dream Scenario" while there are many other immediate needs for your tax dollars. It would seem that the educational elite should understand that if you can’t get the children to school over safe roads it might be time to put down the wish list and focus on the needs of the entire town.
Yes, we are still voting no on the override.

Well i must say that the hiway does a good job with the "cart paths" and makin them safe but the town nees to remember that we turned down the providence rd reconstruction years ago and to quote someone..."you can only patch a pair of pants so many times before you have to replace them"...so pot holes or no pot holes we do it to ourselves...
Isn't that the point HG is trying to make?
HG, is there nothing you won't throw into the mix to get your way across. How about throwing in an endangered species? They always seem to draw a veiw votes!
Beats a nightmare any day! Vote yes!
Actually I believe the painted turtle makes it's home on the grounds of the school and therefore it qualifies for additional state funding therefore eliminating the need for the override.
HG suggesting that the override will prevent the highway department from fixing our roads is irresponsible. If HG knew anything about how money is divided in a town budget he would know that this suggestion of his is impossible. Tell the truth HG or can it!
I think what HG is suggesting is a "big picture" look at the town. You'd have to be an idiot to think that the override would have such an affect.
It's the narrow-minded, reactionary thinking that contributes to such financial mismanagement.
It's the responsibility of the school to submit a budget, it is the responsibility of the taxpayers to educate and inform themselves as to whether or not to accept.
Don't forget that the Highway Department budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1st was cut back in order to give the schools more money while avoiding a town budget over-ride.
