"Turn off TV Week" - Tune into Franklin instead

This is "Turn off TV Week" and a good thing to do while the TV is turned off is to visit the various Franklin web sites to become informed about the budget situation and the Override Vote scheduled for May 22, 2007.

• Read the full Budget Statement (PDF) from the Town Administrator.
• The next Town Council meetings are scheduled for May 2 and May 16.
• The Franklin School Committee has its own blog. You can read about the history of overrides in Franklin (all three lost). How the town rates against other school districts in MA (under the state average in 9 of 11 categories).
• The next School Committee meetings are scheduled for April 24, May 8, and May 22.

The town will be better off with an informed voter population.
