Finance Committee Before Meeting #8
We met at 7:30 before Town Meeting, as usual. We had business tonight. We discussed Article 44. The article itself is OK, but there is a modification to the insurance budget. The change causes money for health expenses for retirees to be first appropriated into the OPEB trust fund, and then spent from OPEB to […]

I didn’t do notes for our meeting before TM #3 because we didn’t have any business – just chatter. The meeting #4 was canceled because there was no business. Today we had business. Treasurer Stephen […]
