Dear Fellow Taxpayers,
Today's NYT, front page, 11/10/08, right column: "Paterson Raises Ax Over Medcaid and School Fund". He says it all. To the Union: renegotiate or face layoffs. The Marlboro School Board would do well to take a lesson from him. Nothing is written in stone, including all these "contracts".
Tuesday, Nov. 18th, 2008, at Dave Pulliam's restaurant: 40 Western Ave., 7:30pm, we will hold a strategy meeting of the Marlborough Taxpayer's Association. Please come and bring neighbors and friends. Nov. 20th , Thurs is a Board of Education meeting at which we can make our case for cutting the budget for 08-09.
