Clips We're Watching
Finance Committee Chair: "There's no fat...there's no hidden money."
Watch 23:45-25:30 to see George Conley assure that after going line by line through the budget, there's no waste.
School Committee Chairs: We're looking ahead at "a stark reality".
Watch 13:00-15:00 to see Dave Callahan and Dave McNeill of the School Committee petition the Town Council to engage the community in their efforts to support an override.
For more context: All town department heads
In this longer clip (2:03-2:41), department heads advocate for their employees and for the services they provide our town. This was 11 weeks before the failed override.
Stay tuned for more clips from elected officials, advocates, and neighbors!
