The town is asking to restore Circuit Breaker Funding and reauthorize Chapter 90 funds for FY2014. One reimburses high cost special education programs for schools, and the other helps alleviate the costs associated with maintaining the roads.
Those are the two priorities in Northborough's now-annual "Legislative Priorities" letter, which it addresses to the Gov. Deval Patrick's office, as well as local reprentatives.
Northborough sends the letter to legislators, and invites them to sit with the Board of Selectmen, and anyone who wants to attend the open meeting. These legislators will do so on Monday, March 11, at 7 p.m. in the Selectmen's Meeting Room at the Town Hall.
Sen. James Eldridge, Sen. Harriette Chandler, state Rep. Danielle Gregoire, Chief of Staff Susan Templeton and state Rep. Harold Naughton have all agreed to attend the meeting and field questions and concerns.
