Mayor hosts an infrstructure Town Hall meeting


 Last night Steph and I went to this meeting. There were around 30 people, (out of 41K voters and 70K in total population), including employees of the Town. As usual, the sound in the hall was terrible and on replay, the sound is slightly better but not much.
It's important to watch this show as it is the, imo, the primer for an override ask next year and for years to come. No one sells these projects like the CFO. 
All of our buildings are in poor shape, all our roofs warranties are about to expire and we have another school to replace. I don't see how we have that much in the levy to spend 40, 50, 60 million a year to fix or replace what needs fixing or replacing.

this begs the question with all the money we get for our local access tv why is it that all the meetings are hard to hear? and why can't these city employees figure out that the font they use on these slides is not readable in a big room like Nevins Hall?

this issue is decades old. I've ranted to Rego about font size with no response as well, but he could care less. There are clear guidelines for font size in Power Point presentations and for broadcast TV but again he's not taking any suggestions from me.
The man in charge of Nevin's Hall sat through the meeting and I couldn't hear most of what he had to say... just like the days of Town Meeting.

Seems like we are paying for government access but they are not doing what they are paid to do. Who do we complain to about this?

I'm not sure anymore who is in charge of Gov TV. It was Carly Melo but the web site doesn't mention Gov TV. The mayor is the only one left to complain to mayor@framinghamma.gov
