N. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Dellorco - 7:00 PM at Franklin TV with recovery addicts and FHS students to do a program

Williams - thanks for the opportunity to serve you for the past two years
for your knowledge, understanding and guidance
I thought I knew quite a bit, I was surprised at how dumb I was

Kelly - need to do something at the next council meeting, no matter who is here sitting on the Council

Downtown construction, can not complain enough about the MassDOT
promising to do something on one day and not getting done until later
it was a nice project but we have been sold a bill of goods

thanks to the new council candidates, there is a lot of meetings at all hours
when you leave here, you go on Facebook and find out folks don't like what was just done

Thank you Mr Williams for you help, you have been nothing but a gentleman
thank you for putting me here the last two years
I would be nothing but honored to sit with you next time

Bissanti - follow up with Matt's comments
this is the closest I've been to a police chief on an amicable basis
let's have a robust outcome in voting
