If there is an emergency that needs to be addressed that's an entirely different story.
Of course if there is some way the few that are hell bent to make this happen are given the chance to ram this through I'm sure they will. Don't underestimate the financial irresponsibility or better put ineptitude of a few who have no concept of the current state of affairs. This lasts long enough it's a given foreclosures will be on the rise, and that means less property tax revenues coming in.

I completely agree with you. There are a number of questions to be raised: for one, is it possible to table a warrant article? Not sure if this is possible. This whole recreation center topic has torn the town apart over the years. The ones pushing so hard for it are not the ones who will bear the brunt of the costs to build and maintain an expensive facility.Their attitude has been to stick it to the waterfront residents and non-resident, non-voting property owners. Never mind that the school population has dwindled from over 700 to approximately 480 over the years. I guess it remains to be seen how reasonable people will be regarding essential vs. non-essential expenditures, given the current pandemic and economic uncertainties. Stay tuned.
