In preparation for the Finance Committee budget hearings 

• May 8 - general government
• May 10 - schools
• May 11 - public safety (police, fire & dispatch), DPW and enterprise accounts (water, sewer solid waste & stormwater)

We'll be spending some time on a series of posts to get into some of the details and issues raised. For one quick example, the School Committee asked for more than the Superintendent's Recommended budget, which was asking for approx. $3.4M more than last year. The Town allocation is only about $1M more than last year which would force the schools to cut $2.4M from what the School Committee approved. 

A problem we all need to solve not just for this year, it will likely be worse next year.
