Madison Town Column: Town meeting removed from the month of March

From time to time, I’ve wanted to bust into the press business. The desire ebbs and flows, depending on when I have information that I want to yell from the rooftops. Donning a fedora with a little note pad in tow, and given the nickname “Scoops” may, unfortunately, be a little bit passe at this point in my life. The thought, however, of gathering and writing a hot story without blathering it all out on social media just seems to be a bit nostalgic in this day and age.

For the purposes of this column, there are several items that are hot off the press for this month. The first, of course, is that town meeting has been removed from the month of March for 2021, and has been docketed for May. Such a wrench has thrown budgets and warrant articles into a minor tizzy, as some adjustments need to be made to account for the delay in purchasing the equipment to be voted on. As an unintended consequence, the town report that you may take enjoyment in poring through will be delayed as well.
