The MRJs Jesse Buchanan reported:
The Board of Education approved three motions which support the Cheshire High School artificial turf project Thursday night and forward it to the Town Council.
The motions were approved in a six to one vote with Republican Alan Sobol the lone dissenter.
Thank you Alan. This will be another long-term liability given to the taxpayers. And we need to reduce those liabilities, not increase them.
While some argue that the Town must replace the turf -- either with artificial turf or natural turf -- I suggest waiting to see the results of the $475,000 track referendum on November 2. If that fails -- and I think it may* -- then the taxpayers will have spoken loud'n'clear.

* Recent recreation projects, such as the pool and linear trail, failed. And roads and energy improvements have seen support decreasing significantly in recent years.
All voters should look at the track at the high school. I don't think it needs to be replaced. It could use some special caulk to seal some cracks.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be amazed how good it looks. So why spend $475,000 to replace it now? Makes no sense.
