Town of Braintree

where are the cops?

i dropped my daughter off at braintree
high school last night and both sides of the fire lane had parked cars.
the problem here is either:
a.the people that parked there
are inconsiderate and ignorant.
b.they ALL might be handicapped
which would be a stretch.
c. the police in town don't make
rounds to enforce the law.
d.the police/fire or anyone
having authority over such
matters were aware there was
an event there and it would
cause this breaking of the law.
e.all of the above.

you decide.

one thing's for certain though;
if Mr. Frazier or Mr. Kenney want more
coverage they might want to pay attention to Braintree High.it really truly IS more important than BOTH
Braintree Place and South Shore Plaza's
security issues.Simon Properties can
afford to cover their own butt.fire/police should respond to residents first,not town tenants who can afford their own security.is anyone
at Town Hall paying attention?

I've made up my mind.

Because the vote on the debt exclusion will preceed Town Meeting and the budget votes, I will vote no. If they held the vote on the debt exclusion until after Town Meeting, I may have made a different decision.

One thing I would like to know is where is all the new tax money they are collecting from the increased valuations going?

Anon, you are not addressing the reasons for asking for a debt exclusion. It does go back 3 years.

Anon, you are not addressing the reasons for asking for a debt exclusion. The operating budget is stressed by union contracts and yes the Quinn Bill. If the freaken unions weren't such pigs the Capital budget would be bigger and infrastructures could be better maintained. Now read the words carefully, I did not say all our infrastructure could be maintained but more than what has been done as a result of union contracts. Argo, fiscal mismanagement contributed to the request for a debt exclusion. Get the freaken unions to play ball and I'll consider a yes vote, but not until then.
