Acushnet’s comfort dog, Sunny, took over for Town Administrator Jamie Kelley for a bit on May 26, and spent a little time boosting morale among Town Hall employees.
Neighb News sources say that Mr. Kelley is a little worried about his job, now. But it is our considered opinion that he doesn’t have to worry unless Sunny learns a little more about the budget process, spreadsheets, and how the tax levy is calculated.
By all accounts, Sunny brightened up everyone’s day with her visit and she seemed to enjoy it herself.
