Hadley mulls CPA funds for historic cemeteries, rental aid and preserving farmland

HADLEY Enhancing historic cemeteries, providing emergency rental assistance for residents and preserving farmland are among projects that could be paid for through Community Preservation Act money this year.
The CPA Committee recently recommended $292,000 in projects for annual Town Meeting to consider in May, with the bulk of the money going toward cemetery work and the rental assistance program. Those projects were originally brought to a Special Town Meeting last fall, but that session ended before the articles were taken up.
The CPA account is built from a 3% surcharge on property tax bills that is matched by a contribution from the state.

I can’t believe this is my last satire of the Trump presidency. Time sure flies by when you’re great again. Soon I’ll be making fun of a new president as we enter the post-post-reality period of American politics. Good for democracy but bad for satire. He may not care about his legacy, but just for laughs, let’s look back and see how Trump stacks up against the great presidents of the past.
Nixon scowled, “I’m not a crook.” But he was. Our current president said, “I’m (expletive deleted)” but he wasn’t. Clinton swore, “I did not have sex with that woman” and got impeached. The current occupant of the White House boasted, ” I just grab them by the .” and got elected.
