Weathersfield Weekly Blog Jan 18
January 18, 2017
We're three weeks into 2017 and we're ready to inaugurate a new President and Vice President and usher in a new cabinet. This change of political power will certainly come with a change of philosophy. I for one am very interested to see how this presidency will play out. It could be quite earth shaking or it could be status quo. Let's try to enter these next few months with open minds. Remember, we're all in this together.

Fire Commission news: Town manager Ed Morris presented the draft language for an article to be placed on the upcoming Town Meeting warrant that would ask the voters to authorize the Select Board to move forward with establishing a fire district. Many questions came up from both Ascutney Volunteer Fire Department and West Weathersfield Fire Department. TM Morris stated that this article would only authorize the Select Board to move forward with the idea, but that it in no way guaranteed that the fire district would be established. In the end the vote was unanimous to place the article on the March ballot.
