Not the same old garbage


Just a few of the news articles that have floating around the Task Force for School Revenue, as we consider how other communities are trying to address the same problems facing Newburyport. These pretty much relate to Newburyport.

Editorial in the Dartmouth Newspaper

Dartmouth Raises Money for Schools by Trash Pickup Fee

Ideas Offered by Community After School Override Fails in Dartmouth


The state DEP Program Guidelines for Fee for Trash and Upgraded Recycling


I'll give y'all an update on the work of the Task Force a little later; including an invite to the next meeting.

Thanks for the broader view, Bruce.

No doubt a lot of communities are watching Dartmouth, which appears to be further down the slippery slope we're all currently on.

As this problem widens, it sounds like there's an opportunity for a grass roots organization to run a slate of candidates for the statehouse who are willing to tackle true tax reform/distribution.
