"Defense has been the story for Franklin through the opening few games of the season with the Panthers holding its first three opponents to only 30 points per game. Much of the attention is on junior center Ali Brigham (two blocks) and her ability (at 6-foot-3) to dominate the paint, but on Monday night against Holy Name (Worcester) it was the perimeter players who stood out.
Using a combination of players, including sophomore Erin Quaile, senior Shannon Gray, and junior Breanna Atwood, Franklin held Holy Name’s standout guards Jaini Edmonds and Grace O’Gara to just 15 points combined and the Naps to just 13 points as a team in the opening half of a 56-36 victory.
“That’s been a real focus for us to become a better defensive team,” said Franklin coach John Leighton. “Shooting comes and goes but defense translates every night. They brought a good challenge for us…both lefty guards, which makes it trickier too. We talked a lot about limiting their touches and really make them work for it. They didn’t get a lot of clean looks, which was our goal.”

"While there’s growing talk of a possible recession, Massachusetts workers are about to receive a $175 million income tax break and there’s now a possibility that the 5 percent income tax rate that voters approved in 2000 will actually happen in 2020.
As the weekend got underway Friday, the Baker administration quietly announced that all of the necessary economic triggers had been hit and the income tax will fall from 5.1 percent to 5.05 percent on Jan. 1, 2019.
In August, Revenue Commissioner Christopher Harding certified that fiscal 2018 revenues had easily outpaced the state’s 2.5 percent trigger, and tax revenue growth in four consecutive three-month periods, the most recent one ending this month, was positive enough to force the rate reduction.
The tax relief means $84 million less for the state budget over the last half of fiscal 2019, and its impact over a full fiscal year is $175 million."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)
"At the MMA’s Annual Business Meeting on Jan. 19, members will consider a resolution on the state-local fiscal partnership and one on partnering with the state and federal government to mitigate the impacts of disruption in the recycling marketplace. (See full text of each resolution below.)
Each resolution was drafted by an MMA policy committee during the fall and approved by the MMA Board of Directors on Nov. 13.
The proposed resolutions are as follows:• Resolution Supporting an Enduring Fiscal Partnership Between Cities and Towns and State Government in Fiscal 2020 and Beyond, proposed by the MMA Fiscal Policy Committee
• Resolution Supporting a Local-State-Federal Partnership to Address the Challenges to the Recycling Marketplace, proposed by the MMA Policy Committee on Energy and the Environment"

"Developers are proposing to construct a 24-unit condominium development on West Central Street.
There will be a public hearing on Monday, Jan. 7 at 7:05 p.m. in the Town Council Chambers at the Municipal Building.
The project - submitted by Joel D’Errico of Franklin and named Highland Village - is made up of three parcels in separate ownership, totaling about 2.85 acres from 278 to 300 West Central St. The site plan was prepared for the three clients by Guerriere & Halnon engineers and land surveyors.
Town Planner Amy Love said that the same owners sought approval for a similar project last year and were denied by the Planning Board. This time, they came back with six fewer condos on the table."
