Thanks for the update Tummyman.

We continue to be impressed with BOS Chuck McGee; his grasp of the issues, their impact on the numbers year round and for maintaining an open and fair perspective to other's point(s) of view, all highly commendable given the sensitivity of the current political climate.

With inflation running at a 30 year high and now no longer considered "transitory"; with gasoline, food, heating oil/propane and everything else exploding in cost, increasing assessments and the Unassigned Fund Balance maintaining a sizeable excess vs. BOS plan, not sure why or how BOS Ms. Beadle or any selectman could abstain on such a critical issue? The excess (cash) is earning little interest while many of our locals struggle and will continue to struggle....why then not find common ground? Ms. Beadle's abstention warrants serious consideration.

As Tummyman states, the other four BOS and Chuck McGee in particular are to be commended for their courage, dedication, concern, well-being of our community, its residents and the system overall. Thank you all for your service to our community.
