If anyone remembers Town Meeting, article 30, which included $10,000.00 for an infield groomer to be used at Gilman Waite field. Now, apparently, it has been "discovered" that piece of equipment actually costs somewhere in the $30,000.00 to $40,000.00 range. So the appropriation made will not cover the cost. It seems more apparent every day that information out of the selectmen office cannot be trusted. I feel from here on in, when the selectmen say this will cost X or we need this much money for that, the question (s) will be; where did that figure come from? Where is the bid or the quote and who gave it to you? What is the contact information so it can be checked out? Does anyone still wonder why advisory would not approve $2,000.00 to be used under miscellaneous?
Do not worry, we have good numbers and the books are all set, well, except for some reconciliations and some unaccounted for checks and another possible payroll miscue.
Plus or minus 10%, give or take, not to worry.
Remember, "it's just pennies" ! Lol !! Apparently this is how a Department Head felt about something they wanted. Well pennies add up ! I am very afraid of the future for the younger people in our town. Our debt level is going to be too high, and we still have nothing to show for it. Our fearless leaders are not paying attention to the things that matter ! As long as the leaders are allowed to keep the voters silent, nothing will change.
ReplyDeleteHow in the Hell would we know if we had good numbers? Does anyone really trust the numbers coming from our Finance Team? I sure as hell cannot as I always saw errors, oversights and "keystroke" errors throughout their work.Like Jeff said, why are the "good numbers" being adjusted to this day?
ReplyDeleteTime for a change!
So where are the real estate tax bills?
