ReplyOverride talk, behind closed doors, is fermenting for next year. Because we can all agree the 'Sadowski Voucher Model' isnt going to be implemented in the next 12-24 months; we are at a crossroads.
Where do we go from here?
Please think about this question THIS YEAR at ATM when you vote to approve a $49 Million School budget that includes hundreds of thousands $$$ in new positions that the walls just close in that much more for next year. If you vote YES now be prepared to vote the same YES in next year's Prop 2.5 override to sustain the freight train!
Last year ALL our unions were forced to sacrifice and 'take one for the team' please dont slap them in the face by taking the 'savings' and spending it on new positions that we honestly cant afford moving forward in the next several years. Its as irresponsible as Uncle Bob Jeff's ban the guns trample the constitution plan. ENOUGH!

K Ross. FINALLY something that sounds like words on sanity:
"Ross in particular noted his concerns on hiring new staff members after hearing Town Manger Jodi Ross repeatedly say that up to 30 staff members could be fired in Fiscal Year ’15 without revenue enhancements, saying this was unfair to current staff members who had taken painful cuts during contract negotiations and that possible employees would not want to come to a town where they could potentially be fired the next year"
YES YES YES YES THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Where Olsen and Harkness just keep on pushing us down a path or peril here is someone in town who can see this 'big picture' Bravo on this one sir!!!!!!!
