I think it's terrible and everyone should contact their alderman.
I too heard that "the boss" no longer wants them in advance on the website. Also, ones that get posted have a restricted PDF file and I was also told he has a problem with them being cut and pasted to other sites. He's out of control, and so paranoid that it's not funny, it's actually scary.
Waterboy, I just got off the phone with someone who received an electronic version of Monday's meeting this afternoon and you are correct, the mayor wants to appropriate money to the tax levy. |

Seems like enough inquires were made to get the agenda posted prior to the meeting.
That said… raising the tax levy for water meters is absolutely ABSURD. Keep sticking it to the taxpayers! It’s bad enough it was city hall that caused this mess. I’m sorry, but we should have enough money in free cash for that and we only have $3,000.00 left according to the auditor? That is unacceptable and incompetence.
I also hope there is detailed discussion over the Boston Globe article about the cost of public works per resident and not swept under a rug. No need for any committee, this issue is already done, it’s about 2009 and we deserve an explanation.

Okay, I'm confused. Is he or isn't he asking for the $250,000.00 tax levy. |
