My regular monthly selectman office hours are at The Center on the first Friday of every month from 9:00 to 10:00 AM (this Friday).
Residents are welcome to stop by to talk in person about any town matters. Residents can also have coffee and see the Council on Aging in action (a vibrant organization with lots going on).
I can be reached via my cell phone at 508-359-9190 or my blog about Medfield matters, where any schedule changes will be posted.

 Administration files $734M supplemental budget bill with $75M for special education relief The Healey-Driscoll administration today filed a $734 million fiscal 2023 supplemental budget bill that includes $75 million to help school districts with extraordinary increases in special education costs. The bill includes a number of outside sections that would make adjustments to municipal finance laws to give cities and towns more flexibility in how they spend opioid settlement money and to simplify accounting and fiscal rules regarding revolving funds, insurance proceeds and mitigation agreements. (The MMA is analyzing the proposed changes and will provide additional details shortly.) Among the spending items, the bill proposes an additional $171 million to extend state-funded universal free school meals through the 2023-2024 school year, as well as funding for clean energy, MBTA hiring, preparations for the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency, and other one-time priorities. |

Medfield Select Board member
I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
For information on my other job as an attorney (personal injury, civil litigation, estate planning and administration, and real estate), please feel free to contact me at 617-969-1500 or Osler.Peterson@OslerPeterson.com.
