SEP 4, 2018 State Primary Official Results for Franklin, MA

Town Clerk Teresa Burr has posted the official results for the Sep 4 State Primary. The only observable changes I noted were in case of write in votes and the Libertarian results which as there were only 7 votes cast, I left out.

All 20 pages in the new voting report output. Note: the ballots are listed alphabetically (Democrat, Libertarian,Republican and then within each ballot by the position)


These results were shared from the Town of Franklin page

MBTA Parking fee changes were effective Sep 1

Not sure how I missed picking it up on the radar but I was surprised last week to find the parking fee at Franklin/Dean Station increased from $4 to $6. The parking fee at Forge Park did not increase (it remains at $4).

Come to find out it is part of the plan to adjust prices throughout the MBTA arena. 

The good news: weekend parking went down from $4 to $2 at both Franklin/Dean and Forge Park Stations.

More about the parking rate changes overall

Note: the listed price is for customers who use PayByPhone (the mobile app, the website, or their phone system). Mailed invoices are subject to a $1 fee per day of parking
