On Monday we held our first Veterans & Elderly Tax Team (VETT) committee public hearing.
Despite pretty good advertisement from the local press, we only had a small showing of residents, but the ones who came had good stories and were determined to have their voices heard.
Most of the residents who spoke discussed our Veteran Program. Carol Riccio, of the Elderly Services Department, came to speak in favor of Senior assistance, and pointed our that a follow-up meeting during day-time hours would work better for seniors.
I'm in the process of putting together a 2nd Public Hearing, in cooperation with the Elderly Services Department, and should be ready to announce that meeting early next week.
I hope to have as many seniors attend as possible - we want to hear from you !
I'll keep you posted.
