Open letter to Framingham Mayor Yvonne M. Spicer: We to to put the city s people first
John A. Stefanini
Dear Mayor Spicer:
It has been a while since we had one of our many “talks” on live television in front of hundreds of people. While we did not always see eye to eye, I did like and shared in your ideas about increasing transparency, listening to neighborhood concerns, broadening representation of our boards, protecting our seniors, and supporting our schools.
Now, here we are nearly four years later.
Our city is facing a crisis with its water and sewer enterprise fund. In a matter of three years, the fund has gone from a surplus of $9 million to a deficit of $6.1 million. Tax bills have been delayed, causing our residents to get a shock of two tax bills due on May 1.
