And top financial experts strongly recommend the debt exclusion approach. That's the best option, and the timing is right. It has forced each community to prioritize their spending needs, much like you and I who also must live within a budget. Over the last 6 weeks I have waited for information to convince me why I should support a Debt Exclusion to fund the New Veterans School. I am convinced as I believe we all are, that a New Veterans School is necessary and will be built.
Many questions remain unanswered although they have been asked repeatedly.
We as taxpayers are told our water and sewer rates are among the lowest on the North Shore. The New Veterans School will be built with or without a Debt Exclusion. What is needed now is alternative plans, motivation, and dedication to accomplishing this task. What is not needed is continual threats to the community at large that without a debt exclusion the New Veterans School will not be built. If the current Town Manager can not display this creativity and motivation than maybe the Board of Selectmen should look elsewhere for your leadership.
