Another Top10 listing

Money/CNN has Franklin, MA ranked in the Top10 of their "100 best places to live and launch"

Shouldn't we tell them to stay away?

With 45 teachers potentially heading out the door in June, our high ranking on MCAS will start dropping as class size increases next year.

Of course, Franklin does have a choice.
  • We can choose to pay our fair share of our children's education.
or
  • We can wait for the Commonwealth to give us more than the 50% of our educational expenses that they do today. (p.s. - that's not likely.)

Franklin: Autumn Color


Franklin: Autumn Color, originally uploaded by shersteve.

The forecast doesn't seem to have bright and clear skies for this Thanksgiving Day so a picture from a recent 'good' day is appropriate.

We have so much to be thankful for in Franklin.

We can work through our problems, we can continue to be a Top 10 community to raise a family, a Top 100 community to retire, and continue to be a place to be thankful for!
