Out of service


So first they closed Inspection Services on Thursday’s so all the players could have a pow-wow to make nice and better coordinate the permitting process so a new business could get down to doing business.

Then they decided—as payback for the May 1 Override failure—to close the rest of Town Hall offices on Thursday mornings until noon.

The Police Department took a hit this Fiscal Year absorbing a cut of two officers. Maybe they should have a half-day where they are closed to the public as well. When you call 911 a recorded message would announce: “Sorry due to budget cuts we are unavailable for the next five hours, if this is an emergency start praying.”

And now, today, Town Hall is closed entirely for “annual clean up day”. Hmmm, in the private sector a small-business owner uses Labor Day, Thanksgiving, or Christmas as a “clean up day.”
