Proposed Town Budgets

[GT]

Londonderry Town budget is only available at the Town hall and town Library.
Londonderry School Bufget is available on-line. It's only 587 pages long....

No one in this town seems to give a hoot how much they spend. A few line items from the school budget. Seems rediculously expensive to me.

Replace two exterior doors $4,200
Replace gym doors $4,800.00
Replace cafeteria doors $4,800.00

Refinish High School gym floor $8,000.00. The Gym is only a few years old it was part of a 12 Million dollar addition.

I went to a school board meeting a few weeks ago.

$1400 for a cafeteria table.
But they ONLY wanted two.? They will wait until next year to replace more.

And my guess is you were one of the only ones thinking "$1,400 are they nuts"

I mentioned it to the guy sitting next to me.  He said.. they are special tables.  I said sure.  Let bring back picnic tables!

I'm telling you, you gotta keep on their backs on this stuff.
Recently instead of turning back the surplus to the voters, in Merrimack they paved the floor in some bureacrat's office with cherrywood.

We have flat panel LCD displays in the town hall that they use for message boards.

Hey nothing but the best for the government. As for the people, let them eat cake.

I only wish I could eat cake.? Sorry about the below song, but I'll share a punk song at the 1st chance I get.

BAD RELIGION LYRICS

"Let Them Eat War"

There's a prophet on a mountain and he's making up dinner
With long division and writing crop
Anybody can feel like a winner
When it's served up piping hot

But the people aren't looking for a handout
They're America's working corps
Can this be what they voted for?

Let them eat war [x2]
That's how to ration the poor
Let them eat war [x2]

There's an urgent need to feed
Declining pride

From the force to the union shops
The war economy is making new jobs
But the people who benefit most
Are breaking bread with their benevolent hosts

Who never stole from the rich to give to the poor
All they ever gave to them was a war
And a foreign enemy to deplore

Let them eat war [x2]
That's how to ration the poor
Let them eat war [x2]

There's an urgent need to feed
Declining pride

We've got to kill 'em and eat 'em
Before they reach for their checks
Squeeze some blue collars
Let them bleed from their necks
Seize a few dollars from the people who sweat
Cause it's freedom or death and they won't question it
At a job site the boss is god like
Conditioned workhorses park at a stoplight
Seasoned vets with their feet in nets
A stones throw away from a rock fight
But not tonight, feed ?em death

Here comes another ration (feed them death)
Cause they're the finest in the nation (feed them death)
When there's nothing left to feed them
When it's freedom or it's death

Let them eat war [x2]
That's how to ration the poor
Let them eat war [x2]

There's an urgent need to feed

Shit that doesn't bode well for me.
Hopkinton just got voted as one of the best highschools in the country!

I only wish I could eat cake.

That was Tongue In Cheek of course...

Londonderry has one of the most bloated school budgets in the State.? Londonderry is bleeding its taxpayers to death and allowing the State to take private citizens property.?

Let's consider what we can do to free Londonderry from this taxation death grip....

In Bedford, many of us fought this for years and finally the harassment just got to a lot of people and they moved.
We have 13,000 voters and the 4,000 minority were able to spend $70M all due to 6,000 people not voting.
What can we do about voter apathy?

Be careful what you wish for. They my have wanted even more spending.
