actually cut so that it clearly shows the effort that was put in to keeping this budget as low as it is, so that when we talk to voters about supporting the capital expenses, it shows that the Town government has been very aware of financial concerns and taken positive steps to address it. Thank you. Tinkham Reporting (508) 759-9162 1- 122 THE MODERATOR: Okay, any further discussion on the budget? Okay, hearing none, then the question will come on the main motion as printed with the – oh, we’ve got another one? Okay, Ms. Murphy. MR. HAMPSON: Mr. Moderator, point of order. Just to be sure, I would like to make a motion that we continue beyond eleven o’clock to finish this budget, vote on it. THE MODERATOR: Okay. MR. HAMPSON: Okay? THE MODERATOR: Just for the budget. Okay, continuing after 11:00 if necessary, to finish this article. All in favor, say Aye. [Aye.] THE MODERATOR: Opposed, No. [None opposed.] THE MODERATOR: The Ayes have it. Ms. Murphy. Can the mic carrier help get that mic on, please? MS. MURPHY: Is it on? Okay. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. Carol Murphy, Precinct 9. I have a question on the Unemployment line
number 318, Fiscal Year ‘10, 80,000, and then it went to 175; why? THE MODERATOR: Mr. Chairman. Tinkham Reporting (508) 759-9162 1- 123 CHAIRMAN ANDERSON: As many of us may know, this has been a very difficult time in the country and in the state for people who are not employed. Both the state and the federal governments have extended unemployment benefits and so we have seen a significant cost increase there. That’s the reason that they have gone up very substantially. We’ve actually had Reserve Fund transfers and there is an article in the Special Town Meeting for an addition to unemployment compensation for essentially the same reason. anyone’s been laid off? MS. MURPHY: So it’s just for an extension and it’s not that CHAIRMAN ANDERSON: There may – I guess I can’t comment as to whether or not there have been layoffs. I’m sure that there probably have been people who have left their positions and may be qualified. But the bulk of it is relative to or related to the extensions. Mr. Johnson. MS. MURPHY: Thank you. THE MODERATOR: Okay. Anything else on the budget? MR. JOHNSON: Leonard Johnson, Precinct 5. I just wanted to follow up on the point that Virginia Valiela made.
