Town of Braintree

Simple Math If You Would Read..

The balance not used to construct this pool will remain invested by the trust fund commission and annual interest monies earned from the investments will be used toward the annual operating costs. In addition, kids and adults will pay to use the pool each time or purchase a summer permit just like our golf course does. It doesn't cost our taxes anything and I don't believe we need to flip out over doing the same about this pool. If the pool were a twelve month covered facility, obviously the costs would be far higher and user costs much higher and even taxpayer budget monies would be necessary each year, but that most certainly shouldn't be the case for a ten or twelve week summer pool. It's been mentioned several times before, but I guess you don't read very well anonymous.

Expenses

Many do read and watch Town Meeting on cable. No need for your sarcasm...someone was asking a simple question. However, I haven't seen the numbers and I question by the time it's built will there really be any monies left over - and if you think you can invest it for a good profit - let me know where that good profit is and I will invest my own monies in it.
I support a pool - but a well run and self funded one - our town has way to many other expenses than adding the support of a pool to it.

Lets Make A Pay Pool,All Year

Long! Put a cover on it, install a central water column, have several smaller pools around for the little one's and heat it with an attached Healthy Club and call it Braintree Health Club!We could sell shares in the enterprise and the town could tax it!All would be able to buy membership in the club and people from all over the south shore would join!
Well what do you think?????
