December Reorg Meeting Minutes Available

The December reorganizational meeting minutes are up for review also.

I'm just copying these for future reference.

Herbert Brooks, Oak St.
Mr. Brooks congratulated the new board members and expressed gratitude for everything they have done so far and for the mammoth tasks they are about to undertake. I’m sure that they will ask opinions of the residents and include the residents in some of their decisions before they come to their own decision. “Carry a good light, may it always burn bright with the sun in your hearts.”


Steve Worob, 101 Grandview

Congratulations to the new board. I know that this board will remember that it represents the people who put their trust in them.


Ed Bailey, 36 E. Palmer

I knew two years ago about this night. We thought we had a fighting chance and we won. My advice to the incoming board is change everything about the way these meetings are run and stick together.


Sharon Hughes

Congratulations to the school board. They now represent 82% of the people of Morrisville. Quickly they will represent 100% of the people of Morrisville.

I know the people who ran for school board. They have in their hearts the children. They want to go forward and educate the children as well as it can be done. I know that they have innovate programs they want to bring in; they will be open to comments and input and they will do what they believe is best for Morrisville. We all have to get past the disagreements of the past and work together. Democracy works if you believe in it.

Happy Taxation WITH Representation Day!

Kudos to William Hellmann, CPA! He whipped those budgeteers into shape (or they meekly submitted to his directions, in not sure which) and herewith presented is the Preliminary General Budget fund for 2008-09. (Link fixed Dec 23, 2007)

Is there anyone out there who can compare this to the 2007-08 budget and see how much we're saving in taxes this year?

The budget will be adopted at the next board meeting, January 23, 2008

Food for thought









I love how comics can make you think about how absurd reality is...

Check out Non Sequitur on the web. Anyone have some facts to make up, um, share?
