This was by far the worst thing he did.

Hi all, wanted to see if anyone in Deerfield has been following the upcoming October vote on the new Franklin County Technical School building.

The proposed project is approximately $236 million with member towns collectively responsible for somewhere between $129 and $135 million after state reimbursement. Deerfield sends students to FCTS and will have a share of that cost based on population and equalized valuation.

A few simple questions.

Are you aware the vote is happening in October? Do you feel like you have enough information to make a decision? Do you support the project? And do you plan to vote?

It's a significant long term financial commitment. Would love to hear what Deerfield residents actually think about it.

Hi all, wanted to see if anyone in Montague has been following both of the major votes coming up this year.

The Montague Public Library project is a $23.7 million new library with Montague responsible for approximately $12.4 million. That vote is June 24th.

The Franklin County Technical School building project is approximately $236 million with member towns sharing between $129 and $135 million after state reimbursement. Montague as the host town has a significant share of that cost. That vote is October.

Of all 19 member towns Montague has a lot of skin in the game on both these issues.

A few questions.

Are you aware both votes are happening, or is this the first you've heard of either of them? Do you feel like you have enough information on either? If you support one of the projects, do you support the other? And are you planning to vote in October?

A lot of money is on the table for one town. Would love to hear what Montague residents actually think.

Hi all, I've been looking into two significant votes coming up this year that will affect Franklin County taxpayers and wanted to get a sense of what people actually know and think about them.

The first is the Montague Public Library project — a new $23.7 million library proposed for Turners Falls, with Montague responsible for approximately $12.4 million. That vote is June 24th.

The second is the Franklin County Technical School building project a proposed new school building currently priced at approximately $236 million, it's been up in air for a few years now, but the 19 member towns are collectively responsible for somewhere between $129 and $135 million after state reimbursement. That vote is expected in October across all 19 member towns.

A few questions I'm genuinely curious about.

Do you know about either or both of these votes? Do you support one but not the other, or both, or neither?

If you're in one of the 19 FCTS member towns, are you planning to vote in October? Do you feel like you have enough information to make that decision?

Does the combined financial picture concern you or does it feel manageable in your tax bill?

There's a lot of money on the table affecting a lot of small towns. It's important we talk about it.

Hi everyone, I've been looking into the upcoming vote in June and October for the Montague Library and FCTS Building. Does anyone have any opinion on either of them? If you support one, do you support the other? Do you support neither?

What's your current grasp on the situation? What do you know.

Will you be voting in October?

It's a lot of money that's on the table, and it needs to get talked about.

I don't remember.
