There’s no question about it, hell froze over on Saturday. Or am I just in an alternate universe? JOHN ROD WHERE ARE YOU???
Alas, only a handful of us old timers know what I’m talking about: Jeff Osuch suggested using Free Cash to balance the budget (see page 12). That is like…sacrilege, breaking Rule #1, going down the wrong track, stepping into the abyss, pick your metaphor for doom and gloom. I mean, he’s the original doom and gloom guy!
I could hardly contain myself. I half expected someone to jump up and ask, “Who are you and what did you do with Jeff Osuch?” (Okay, I almost did that.)
Did I mention that I LOVE Town Meeting? This is why. You just never know what a person will say. I wish I had four pages to write about it, to give you all a little more “flavor” of the day, but…I just don’t have the space or the time. I’m pushing deadline as it is.
Hmm….maybe it’s time to start that Substack, huh?
I don’t expect anyone to watch a seven-hour meeting, that’s why I’m here…I go so you don’t have to.
But, honestly, just scroll through till you find Patrick Carr….hee hee. The guy can twist himself into a pretzel to make his case if it’s for himself. He never, ever, ever, did not recuse himself, right? He “challenges” us to dispute that. GEEESHUS! Can you say 40R? Yeah, okay, in the end he didn’t vote, but he never recused, and even then it was after the whole thing had gone before Town Meeting once and failed.
FHS shed anyone? He tried twice (or was it three times, Erin, you’ll check that for me, right?) to get the Select Board to exempt him from the conflict of interest which he insisted was not a real conflict. GEEESHUS!
We have two candidates nights coming up (see page 3), and Select Board candidate statements on page 18, and lots of other fun stuff in here. But, I’m running out of space.
Be sure to put some non perishable food out by your mailbox this Saturday for the National Association of Letter Carriers’ food drive (see letter on page 14).
There’s plenty of other stuff in here. While you’re looking for it, be sure to notice who our advertisers are so you can tell them you saw their ads in the Neighb News.
Until next week then, see ya,
Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to the Heroes!
