Spring cleaning equals a reminder for some..........
Organizing and reading old selectmen business, I came across a letter from the Department of Revenues Director of Bureau of Accounts dated January 9, 2014 and time stamped received in the BOS office at 1:12 PM on January 13, 2014.
The beginning of the third paragraph of this letter begins with the following; With respect to fiscal matters generally, under MGL c. 164, light plants are not separate legal entities and need the approval of their municipalities' legislative bodies to borrow, as in borrowing money to paint water tanks. Just an interesting tidbit from this letter that seemed to bring so much joy to the Light & Water commissioners and I hope they look at this as they move forward with trying to get the tanks painted with a loan (borrowing) from USDA.

These people get away with doing what they want because people have allowed it. This is not my dad's light company. Gone are the days when Mr. Dymek would proudly stand up in the ATM, and announce what they have been able to give the town. Yes, they worked for the residents ! They did not buy new trucks every 5 & 10 years. The largest expansion was the renovation of the building on School Street. Only after our friend from EH, took over, did they build the new bldg. on Bridge Street, and taking on the Water Dept., did some people get very prime retirements. Funny how that happened.
