Hope everyone is surviving the cold weather. Don't worry, by Spring Town Meeting, the flowers will be in bloom, the Red Sox will be playing, and the negative 2 degrees I saw on the Walpole Coop Clock yesterday morning will be long forgotten.
In keeping with the theme of my most previous post, which is unfortunately our ongoing municipal fiscal crisis, I though I would post the following here. It is available on the Town Website, but I'd like to have in on this site as well. The MMMA report is only seven pages, but contains some really good ideas - many of which may come before you at Town Meeting at some point in the future.
Here goes:
From Michael E. Boynton, Town Administrator:
On Tuesday January 13, 2009, the Walpole Board of Selectmen voted to endorse and recommend the proposals for Municipal Relief presented by the Massachusetts Municipal Management Association. In these times of severe economic distress, it is critical that cities and towns across Massachusetts be provided with tools such as those listed in the MMMA document to control costs and better manage budgets. This endorsement and recommendation has been transmitted to Walpole’s Legislative Delegation (Senator Timilty, Representatives Kafka, McMurtry, Rogers and Ross) for their action on Beacon Hill.
Proposals for Municipal Relief
Take a look and see what you think. Thanks.
Jon
