Comments on March 6 BOE meeting
|
In the official minutes of the March 6 BOE meeting under Public Comment, Mike Kramarenko read a letter on behalf of a parent who could not attend the meeting. The highlights of that meeting in the May issue of the Drummer included the same reference. However, the official minutes failed to explain the underlying incident referenced in the letter, so unless you view the video of the meeting online, you have no knowledge of its content or reference.

his year’s annual budget referendum, town residents will be asked to approve the transfer of $4.6M from the general fund to a special fund for the Town Radio Systems Improvement Project.

If approved, this will start a long-overdue, two-year project.

Enigmas are things or people that baffle us like a puzzle or riddle that we struggle to solve. One enigma is the mix of good and evil in our day. It seems like the cycle of history yet again repeats itself.
