My spouse and I affectionately call it Belcher Town or B-Town to get around the Belcher Town connotations.
These are basics.
This isn't like fun, sexy projects.
This is like the real work stuff that needs to be done to keep the town going.
But then came a surprise invoice.
I got a phone call from the town manager.
It came to him first and he immediately reached out to me.
Which is a major fiscal event for a town our size.
I was absolutely shocked.
And my first reaction is, how can they do that?
After all the careful planning we had done and the months we spent working on the budget, it was devastating.
I mean, what I want to really say is Belcher Town is not unique.
Belcher Town is just, as I say in Boston, wicked good example of, you know, what can happen to a small town.
The municipal government basically takes care of the town in all its many facets.
For the town...
They were up in arms.
I mean, you know, they had their torches.
And they blamed the executive board.
They blamed the finance committee and the town manager for, quote, unquote, not seeing that this was going to happen.
Somehow we were supposed to forecast this.
