On Tuesday night the Board of Alderman Committee of the Whole special meeting was very enlightening regarding the taxation ramifications regarding various monies the city will need to come up with, mainly for the GLX project.

All concerned residents of the city should turn up at the Board of Alderman meeting this Thursday evening and listen to what the cost factors are and how much money the city will need for various projects here in Somerville.

Alderman at Large Bill White, who is the President of the Board, showed why he is as good as everyone knows he is. He not only ran the meeting, but also listened to various people from the Mayor’s Office, as well as the Assessor’s Office, present details on cost factors for taxpayers over the coming years.

Tune in to channel 22 (on Comcast) or watch online at 7:00p.m. this Thursday night, December 8.

Thanks to Alderman White and the Board as a whole for making it simple so that everyone can learn about the impact these various items will have over the coming years.
