A few more things to expect this week

It's the most wonderful tiiiime of the year ...

I am sadly one of those people who will watch any NIT game I can because my life will feel devoid of basketball on Monday-Wednesday. But that's neither here nor there. Here's what is:

• I will also have another short town board story about Special Assessment Districts (an alternative form of finance that Waterstone developers are seeking because of the current credit freeze) and a possible delay in funding the design work for the town's wastewater treatment plant upgrades. Unfortunately, it is going to a theme this year — with state and federal taps being closed off or brought to a trickle, county and municipal budgets are going to suffer. It seems that every state-level decision has an impact on local schools or town incomes. We'll try to keep tabs on the latest local impacts.

• You can see what we have on a Butler Road shooting from this weekend that left a Chatham County man dead here.

• And, despite what I just posted above, it seems to be grant-writing season, as well as writing contest season. Keep reading The News of Orange to find yet more grant opportunities and writing contests (the latter being mostly for local students).

Back to my 29 news briefs, which is the proverbial round peg for a square hole.
