Alas, as much as it frustrates me to see how the town of Franklin is spending our tax dollars, it does give me some satisfaction to vent about it here. I don't have the patients or desire to call or try to reach out to the town directly on this issue, simply because I don't care to hear their excuses...
The parking lot at the grade school a mile down the street recently had the parking lines repainted. However, as you can see in the few examples below, there was little to NO prep work done to prepare for the repainting or to help extend the life of the pavement itself.
Whomever did the work simple repainted over the old faded lines, weeds, rocks dirt and all! How shoddy is this?! Who made this decision? At the end of the day how much money did they save, in the short term, by not prepping (removing weeds, rocks, dirt, etc.) and sealing the cracks (to prevent the winter freezing from heaving and making the issue BIGGER)?
It's an embarrassment really but what I've come to expect from how the town of Franklin is run and managed.
Side note to further illustrate how skewed the town priorities are - the Franklin town Administrator has an anticipated - annual salary of $245, 267 for fiscal year 2026! How is the world can this be justified?! Perhaps a BIG reason why the $3.6 million dollar override failed to pass...
