Here’s a classic town meeting story -- as we gear up for the big day in March.
During the discussion of the proposal to pay $3000 to support the efforts of a planning committee looking into whether or not the town might join a neighboring town in a cooperative school district -- hiring consultants and so forth, the old timer says: “Looks to me like we’re buying a road map for a trip we ain’t planning to take.”
Which makes me think of a new answer to the question “What do you folks do in New Hampshire all winter?”
How about, “Budget”?
An awful lot of budgeting going on around here -- at town hall, school board meetings, and here at the house as we wonder how we’re going to pay for the oil and the taxes. Plus the birds at the feeder are eating like little feathered pigs. Have you checked the price of black oil seed lately?
