Town workers should demand how many of them will lose their jobs in Dr.Mohan’s new budget. The word around town is at least 70 will be gone. If the workers know there are going to be severe cuts in the work force it would be a good idea to explain to the people of Amherst why they are necessary.
The residents should understand that the cuts are due to massive foul ups made by past Town Boards and under the leadership of Dr. Mohan. All of these have put Amherst in a large money pit.
We need to increase the amount of revenue we have available. There are basically two ways to bring more money into Amherst. One is higher assessment and the other is to fire workers. The people of Amherst must rise up and ask how we got so messed up; who is to blame?
