Letter: Next Adams Administrator Should Look to Roads, Costs

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

It's been a while since Adams had a town admin who was familiar with the town's roads condition and was sensitive to the real estate tax cost. The town has squandered monies by chasing the dream of the [Greylock] Glen.

Our high school graduated, what 44 students? For the cost, burdensome to say the least. Do none of our town officials and certainly the administrator know or are familiar with the term "consolidation." Athletics are already headed in that direction and academics should be on that path. Consolidation with other local districts would provide a path to efficiency and help to throttle ever rising school costs.

And last but not least, State Police are close at hand, so for our population, a closer look at public safety.
