The Blue Ridge School Board laid on a spread for their meeting on January 30: puff-ball sandwiches, fruit & veggies with dip, cookies, water and soda. All to fete state representative Sandra Major, who arrived on time an hour and a half before the scheduled workshop to respond to questions and brief the board on legislation in Harrisburg.

The board, including the designated Student Representative, Kevin McCarey, and augmented by two more students, peppered Ms. Major for an hour with questions and concerns about vouchers, charter schools, the state budget, state mandates and standards testing, and natural gas revenue. She didn’t offer any ready solutions, instead describing the legislative process and the difficulty of dividing up scarce resources.

Early into the February 2 New Milford Borough meeting, the council talked about appointing a council member. Originally it was stated that no one had expressed interest, but Larry White had spoken with one candidate who he thought might be interested. There was another possibility mentioned as well, by a second council member. A vacancy board meeting was scheduled for the 9th, to take care of the matter within the allotted time. The position was open due to a failure to elect someone to fill one of the vacancies.

During the codes department section, Rick Ainey asked about the lack of hours on the codes report. It was stated that the codes officer was supposed to list the amount of hours, and that in the past he had done so.
