Another issue in the same vein was brought to my attention by Carol Spack last night: Why does the Town pays for bussing of the parochial schools?

Orr Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 10:57 AM To: Peter Sellers Cc: Town Meeting Members; Framingham Neighbors; Harold J. Wolfe Subject: Question about plowing the churches. Forgive me for CC'ing a few extra people but this question strikes me as somewhat important, especially in light of the budget cuts that were laid out at last night's BoS meeting. Harold Wolfe got up (in his inimitable style) and pointed out that the 22 churches in town are all plowed, sanded and salted by the DPW and have been for all eternity. Given the state of our finances, not to mention the issue of mixing State and religion, I'm asking that we cease this practice immediately. The Town of Ashland was just hit by the ACLU for this very issue. It's just plain unfair to all of us atheists and zoroastrians. I didn't intend for this message to go out while it's actually snowing, but I guess that issue was decided by a higher power than myself :-) Can you please let us know what happens to this issue? Thanks Peter. -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have - -happened but none stranger than this.
