Happy Birthday, Franklin Matters!
I was busy this week and almost forgot to celebrate a birthday. Two years ago this past Monday, the first post was generated here at Franklin Matters. The archives for Nov 9, 2007 contain:

As I read this, it would seem this money will go to pay off some of the existing debt incurred on the building.

In the News - lock cars
Not for the first time, nor likely for this last time, common sense should say why take a chance, lock it up.

My intro
This internet radio show or podcast for Franklin Matters is number 48 in the series.
The Franklin election of 2009 has come and gone.
We have a new Town Council with 6 incumbents (Whalen, Mason, Vallee, Pfeffer, McGann and Zollo) and three newcomers (Powderly, Jones and Kelly).
The School Committee has five incumbents (Cafasso, Mullen, Roy, Rohrbach and Trahan) along with two new members (Douglas and Glynn).
Bruce Hunchard returns on the Board of Health.
Padula, Halligan and Carroll were elected to the Planning Board.
Chris Feeley easily took his write-in campaign for the Board of Assessors and saved the Town Council from having to appoint someone.
Only 16.4% of the registered voters bothered to cast their ballots. This is less than the prior two town elections and continues the trend in the wrong direction.
I will have more to share on the totals and what I read into them. For this session, we'll take you into the Franklin High School field house to hear Town Clerk, Debbie Pellegri announce the results for the election.
