“and we should send the letter in this country should yeah should be invested in it for sure it's all different from like uh the election that's going on in town uh north adams right now right mayor maxi and the uh i was the other guy saying john or scott i was having a conversation with somebody even though it's not our town north adams is like the go-to right over here about shopping north adams and who runs north adams is i know we don't have a vote but it does affect us you know so north adams definitely is like what you said a trickle-down effect in the surrounding areas i mean people woul…”
2025-09-04 · paragraph 512 · read it in the meeting
“it on the building. So at some point, you do have to coordinate with the school because now school is in sessions. Right. So that'll also be coordinated with the school. So. So we'll do it on the sign for the weekend. You can't just be like, oh yeah, go ahead and throw a sign up because you're going to interfere with this class. Right. Do you hear that, Jim? You're. Jim, sorry. Did you hear that? I did. Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim.”
2025-09-04 · paragraph 276 · read it in the meeting
“So when you say 40 versus 8, 40, work 40 hours, anything more than 40 hours is time and a half, versus if you work an 8 hour full day, then come to find out you have to stay an extra hour that day, the extra hour becomes time and a half, so theoretically you could be getting paid. I would be getting paid overtime every day, without working a 40 hour week. Correct.”
2025-09-04 · paragraph 279 · read it in the meeting
“there's two guys. If you work an 8 hour day, put in the hour overtime, then say Friday I don't feel good, calling in sick, do you still get paid a time and a half for those days? Yes, if you're doing the 8 hours you would. So, you know what I mean, I'm not saying Dave would play that game, but there are... But that's why...”
2025-09-04 · paragraph 529 · read it in the meeting
“some discussion, Doug said... I volunteered. You're going to do it. I'm just super busy to get anything done behind now. The principal was like... I would, I mean you're going to keep trimming them. They're going to constantly need to be trimmed. I think you should just cut the things right down and get them”
2026-01-29 · paragraph 528 · read it in the meeting
“say that the townspeople didn't want to pay for a sheriff, which was $50, $45, $60, whatever amount. They didn't want to pay for a radar sign, which was peanuts, right? So here you are trying to get $600,000. I'm going to go out on a limb and probably say they're going to vote no, but we'll see.”
2025-09-04 · paragraph 281 · read it in the meeting
“It may give incentive to get those things that need to get done at the end of the day, like oh hey, this needs to get done, well I worked my 8 hours, well time out, if I stay that extra hour to get done, I'm going to make a little extra, so why not let's stay and just finish it.”
2026-01-29 · paragraph 490 · read it in the meeting
“when people don't pay any attention. I was having a conversation with somebody about the dump. All the taxpayers in town pay to operate that dump, right? And then the people that already paid taxes had to come down and buy a thing. So they're technically double paying.”
2025-09-04 · paragraph 556 · read it in the meeting
“That all changed, right. So. Straight. You're a little bigger. Well, now's the time to think about it for a minute. I mean, I just was looking down the road and see the church and what everybody was mentioning. Geez, that's a nice, a nice sign.”
2025-09-04 · paragraph 742 · read it in the meeting
“so you can put something in the ground that's removable they're like there's a base and this box in so it's removable during like winter time if you need to clean up and enable the failures that are not set like permanently”
