You can do something!
The Bridgewater Board of Selectmen last year brought forth an Article to the July 13, 2004 Special Town Meeting (Article #15) to request that up to $265 thousand be withdrawn from Bridgewater's Capital Projects Fund (once legislation is effected to allow this) to pay for modulars and rentals; Proceeds payable to B-R.
As a member of the Bridgewater-Raynham Regional School Committee, I have a responsibility to not only look at what funds are expended, but also to make sure all of the money owed is paid. I am not aware of any claim by Bridgewater that this debt is not owed. Therefore, it would seem appropriate for Bridgewater to fund this required payment from any available source (Free Cash ?) Bridgewater is struggling with finances just like every other community, but this money is still owed for school year 2005 - and the fiscal year ends June 30th.
