There seems to be a confusion between words. Some posters here and on Curt's blog refer to needing "corroboration" between the boards.
The word is "collaboration."
This is important & potentially cost saving measures for all towns involved...please pursue this with eyes wide open and I trust the newly elected Dartmouth officials will as well.
Please work hard and honestly Bill.
I really feel this summit is about give and take between communities. One community cannot expect to reap all the benefits. We ALL need to work together for the good of all.
How many towns/cities will be involved? It would be nice to have all surrounding areas from Fall River, Acushnet, Fairhaven, Westport, New Bedford, and Dartmouth together. The more the merrier. With Dartmouth having such a large geographical area to cover for road maintenance and animal service, we may be asking rather than offering for more service help. I'm interested in the outcome. Will there be anyone recording the event?
To mom of 3, The last summit was on DCTV so I would think this would be as well. It seemed pretty crowded last time(from what I could see). We're all in this together!
How about regionalizing schools and libraries with Westport? Then we would have one Superintendent. One Library Director, share other resources. I went to a regional school and it was great!
Bill, I watched this meeting last night and was wondering what the document was that several towns signed onto and then sent to the statehouse. Any chance that you could post it?
I hope it wasn't for the commuter rail. That is something I do not want to see in this area. We do not want another influx of Boston area people increasing the cost of housing and pricing working families out of this town.
The Document was a letter to the Governor requesting relief from some of the unfunded state mandates that cripple our budget
Is there somewhere we can read it?
Perhaps Bill can post a copy.
