Raynham & A Curious State of Affairs

In a curious state of affairs, a Raynham resident who is convinced he will profit from casino gambling in Middleboro, has been an outspoken critic and offered much un-informed comment.

It is worthy of note, that Raynham's Fall Town Meeting had difficulty achieving a quorum.

Do you think that person bothered to participate?

The commentary regarding the Stabilization Fund is interesting and many recall the criticism in the DOR Report of Middleboro's failure to maintain adequate cash reserves and use of one-time revenue to balance the budget.
Raynham spending dips into reserves
If all articles were approved Monday night, the stabilization fund, a budget reserve account, would drop to about $400,000 or less than two percent of the entire budget, and well below the four percent level recommended by the state. Taunton Gazette
Perhaps that Raynham resident, who clearly fails to comprehend the operation of Town government, should pay attention to his own community and channel his energies in a more positive direction. Doubtful!
