Road $

Posted on April 2, 2015 | Comments Off on Road $

$330m. this year and $200m./year going forward from state for town road repairs.  Last year the legislature approved $300m., but when they also failed to approve sufficient transportation funding, Gov. Patrick only released $200m.  From John Nunnari –

SENATE APPROVES $200 MILLION ROAD REPAIR BILL

Facing an April 1 deadline, the Massachusetts House and Senate are now in agreement on $200 million annual road repair program, down from $300 million approved last year.

The road and bridge repair bill (H 3187) sailed through the Senate Wednesday afternoon on a unanimous vote.

Cities and towns have looked to Beacon Hill for confirmation by April 1 of road repair funds in order to give public works officials time to accomplish “Chapter 90” projects as spring weather conditions improve.

Sen. Thomas McGee, a Lynn Democrat who co­chairs the Transportation Committee, said cities and towns would have a total of $330 million in Chapter 90 funding available to them this season since Gov. Charlie Baker released $100 million in funds approved last year and also set aside $30 million for pothole repairs.

The Legislature in 2014 approved a record $300 million for Chapter 90.

Calendar update

Posted on April 1, 2015 | Comments Off on Calendar update

I never enter selectmen meeting dates in my calendars beyond my election, so today I updated my calendar with three years worth of selectmen meetings.  The alert told me one was going to be on Boxing Day – I bet we do not meet that night.

Time to start Tick Control on your pets!

If you stopped your pet’s tick preventive over the winter, get it started again NOW. Outdoor dogs and cats will likely be the first family members to find a tick. There are three basic types of products; be sure to use the product that best matches your goals. Ask your vet which suits your pet best.

1 Products that kill ticks pretty much on contact before they attach and start feeding (quick tick knockdown).
2 Products that kill after ticks have attached and started to feed (ticks bite to die).
3 Products that may kill fleas and other parasites but don’t really kill ticks effectively (read the label).
