Override meeting report
I attended the first 30 minutes of the override meeting. IMO, the people running the override need to work on the reasons the override is needed. It is going to take a very compelling argument to get this bird to fly. Since I only attended about 1/3 of the meeting, it’s very likely I missed a lot of important stuff. The override is being headed by Paul McManus who did a decent job translating the proposed cuts with the actual effect on the classrooms.
There were about 2 dozen people including Dr. Sullivan. Selectman Al Rullo showed up as well. It’s easy to forget how much effort these people put in when you get mad about an issue – such as the dumb casino or the insane raises that have been handed out in the past that led us to needing an override.
I recorded the meeting – at least the 30 minutes I attended. Quality is poor – it was recorded with my laptop microphone and I was several rows back, and typing. On a side note, it’s cool that the library has wireless Internet – it was very convenient. Speaking of cool, I’m writing this post in the waiting area of a Rhode Island hospital. For some reason I wasn’t able to hook up to my company VPN, but I did a number on my email inbox working in offline mode. Ain’t technology grand?
