ReplyGood people leave ... bad people enter. It seems that in the last two years, those whose honorable efforts and expertise are in the genuine interest of the town, are being ousted in one way or another. They are replaced with people who can satisfy the agenda of special interest groups and influential people's greed.

ReplyI remember the Jordan Marsh blueberry muffins as a child in Boston. People would wait in line to buy the overfilled muffins for 25 cents each. Of course, that was a half century ago.

On the article Danforth Museum To Purchase Maynard Building for $1.5 Million

ReplyThe cost to bring the current Danforth Museum building up to code is enormous. I would be opposed to the Town spending several million dollars and then "give away" the building to a non-profit. More money being spent and ever-increasing property taxes burdening the ordinary taxpayer. Perhaps the building can be sold and converted into co-operative studio/housing for legitimate artists. It would put the building on the tax roles. It has been done numerous times all over Greater Boston with great success. It would solve the artist's problem of affordable housing and studio space. Boston has several cooperatives including the Artist Building on Summer Street, Boston. See link: http://www.300summer.org/The_Artist_Building_at_300_Summer_Street/Home.html and the 249 S Street Cooperative: http://249astreet.com/index.html

ReplyAm sorry to hear that Jay is leaving. He was very effective and knowledgeable as director of the Planning Board. Unfortunately, several times, recently, his hands were tied about issues preventing him to act for the best interest of the public. Now Jay can surf the Vineyard waters.

ReplyA year ago a news article was published about the Danforth Museum and Maynard building.
The article mentions a proposal that involves the town helping complete $4.2 million in necessary building repairs. Has the town spent this money on improvements? The one million dollars the Museum agrees to pay over 20 years is a pittance what the Town has spent.

ReplyHow much has Framingham spent in improvements in the last two years on the Maynard Building? How much will the Town spend before transfer of property to Danforth Museum? What will become of the "white elephant" on Union Ave? With the move of the major cultural organization up north, it seems the present "cultural triangle" in Downtown will lose its designation. Believe me, I am in support of the Danforth Museum, but what cost to the ordinary taxpayers do we essentially give property away?

They are replaced with people who can satisfy the agenda of special interest groups and greed of influential people. Power to control this town is becoming more evident.
