This Chalkboard Chat with Dave Callaghan recaps the Joint Budget Subcommittee meeting (audio)

FM #1034 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1034 in the series. 

This session of the radio show shares my recorded conversation with Franklin School Committee member Dave Callaghan. We had our conversation in person in the Franklin TV Studio on Friday, August 4, 2023. 

Our primary topic was a recap of the Joint Budget Subcommittee meeting held earlier on Wednesday, Aug 2. We also spent time on the forthcoming Aug 16 Town Council meeting which will provide a historical update on Franklin’s override results. Importantly, there will also be a presentation and discussion on the do’s/don’t for town employees, and others on conducting a  campaign abiding by the rules and regulations of campaign finance.

The recording runs about 35 minutes so let’s listen to my “chalkboard chat” with Dave Callaghan. Audio file -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-1034-chalkboard-chat-01-dave-callaghan-08-04-23
