What's coming

UPDATE: I should really check the calendar before saying there's a meeting. Turns out there is not a rail station Friday. The next meeting will be held in two weeks. My apologies.

Well, it's Thursday and my dance card for next week is pretty full - lots of meetings and wrap-ups to write in the next few days. Here's what I am working on so far:

• A write-up of the revaluation speakers at Tuesday's meeting (I hesitate to call them members of Tax Revolt or Freedom Works-led speakers, since it seems that people I have spoken to who were there aren't really associated with the group.)
I'd love to know people's thoughts on how likely it is that commissioners will vote to roll back the revaluation, similar to how it was done in Rockingham County last month.

• After almost everybody left the meeting, there was an interesting discussion on an emergency services study which could cost anywhere between $20,000-$112,000, depending on the depth and breadth of review that commissioners decide to pursue. Read next week for an explanation of what they're mulling.

• The Rail Station Task Force meets again tomorrow, their first get-together since receiving tacit approval on their recommendation of the Collins site. This is where the proverbial rubber will meet the road, as big ideas now have to be dictated into dollars, cents and a battle plan.

• I'm trying to look into a few details about the waste transfer station process, which had been buried a little since the latest big controversy - revaluations - hit the scene. Not much else to tell right now.

• The town board meets Monday. Possibly a Colonial Inn update?

I assume you'll be hearing from Vanessa's cubicle sometime soon.
