FM #868 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 868 in the series. 


This shares my conversation with Town Council Chair Tom Mercer. This is one of a series of conversations meant to provide a recap of the prior Council meeting.

  • What does it mean for Franklin residents and taxpayers?


We cover the following key topics

  • Swearing in of 2 firefighter/paramedics
  • Legislative visit with Senate President Karen Spilka, Senator Becca Rausch & St Representative Jeff Roy
  • Right of first refusal – Schmidt’s Farm

Our conversation runs about 25 minutes:
