A budget shortfall may mean cuts to social services, but the Board is reluctant to raise the revenue needed after last year’s steep hike. Yet the proposed 2027-28 budget includes $500,000 for design work to pave a 2-mile stretch of Bolin Creek, a completely unnecessary expense, and the Town intends to take out a bank loan to cover the shortfall! As a result of OWASA\u2019s repair work, this stretch of Bolin Creek has a perfectly acceptable surface that is loved by both hikers and bikers. Kudos to OWASA for making repairs that created a beautiful path for all to use.<\/p>\n
