    $9,000 for what?

    Why are we giving Suzanne Kennedy a $9,000 bonus.  We are already paying her almost $100,000 which is far more than the Median household income in town.  I would love to be making that kind of money. 

    We keep hearing how the town in in financial trouble.  The Library is being decertified trucks are sinking in parking lots.  We can't afford an assistant town clerk and yet we are willing to give the town Administrator a 10% bonus. 

    I don't see the value in doing this.  I have been a great tax payer this year.  I paid on time put no kids in school never called the fire dept or police.  Can I have a bonus for being a good citizen. 

    We are already pay $97,000 for an administrator I find the $9,000 bonus to be insulting to all of us how live here and are making sacrafices to try and get the town back on its feet.

    Why not? We are looking to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on things like a "wash pad" for our town trucks. Maybe we should use this new 1.8 million in free cash to pay her a bonus, and buy new curtains for town hall and senior center. Then again, I'm sure we need the money for the snow removal budget to pay for the microburst 2 years ago. Who cares about the library, police, and schools anyway.
