Leaving out important facts.

Article 8 on the 2026 Annual Town Meeting Warrant to fund the FY 2027 Operating Budget is presented at $47,295,970. This is a 4.70% increase over the current operating budget or an increase of $2,122,870.

A few of the factors that contribute to this increase are contractual obligations and fixed costs increases, which include Employee Benefits, General and Property Liability Insurance, Increases for Utilities and Expenses for Technology.

Both the Select Board and the Finance Committee voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Article to Annual Town Meeting voters.

Did anybody see this? Absolutely freakin INSANE. You could construct a house on the water for this amount of money. How much will be put into "free cash"?
If people don't start showing up to town meeting and voting these insane amounts down it will continue.

Article 20 of the 2026 Annual Town Meeting Warrant seeks $2,300,000 for painting and repairs to the 1.25 million gallon water storage tank.

The American Water Works Association (AWWA) recommends that the protective coating on a water storage tank be reapplied every ten (10) years in order to ensure the structural integrity of the tank and maintain water quality. The outside coating of the tank has a life expectancy of between eight (8) and ten (10) years, dependent on weather conditions. This particular tank was last painted in 2011 which currently makes it 5 years overdue for critical maintenance. The proposed cost includes necessary structural repairs to the tank, installation of intrusion alarm, associated gaskets and appurtenances, sandblasting, painting, engineering, overflow and drainage pit repairs and onsite inspection services.

As Elaine Marie has stated;
This is a classic example of the Town not taking care of its infrastructure until it becomes dangerous, an emergency and more expensive than it would be had it been maintained properly. Fire station, Police Station, Middle and Elementary schools, 127
Old Harbor, Community Center, COA,
Eldredge Garage...to name a few.

Article 16 of the 2026 Annual Town Meeting warrant seeks $2,000,000 to replace the bulkhead at Barn Hill Landing.

Barn Hill Landing is an important public access point on Oyster Pond River, supporting shellfish harvesters, recreational boaters, and residents who rely on safe and functional waterfront infrastructure. A recent structural inspection of the steel sheet-pile bulkhead confirmed that the existing structure has reached the end of its service life. Reconstructing the bulkhead and updating the site layout are necessary to maintain access, improve safety, and ensure the long-term resilience of the landing.

The replacement will include installing new sheet piles in front of the existing wall, reconfiguring the boat ramp and floats, improving drainage and circulation, and incorporating coastal resilience measures where feasible. Barn Hill Landing remains a valuable public access point, and reconstruction is necessary to maintain its function and safety into the future.

🌤️ Cape Cod and Statewide Voters: Beacon Hill Just Doubled Down on Retaliation!
Beacon Hill is at it again. They just rushed a $1.8B bill through with barely a day’s notice — and hid within it, a warning to every taxpayer from the Cape to the Berkshires.
If we vote to lower our state income tax this fall, they’ll make sure we don’t feel the savings! That’s the message. And yes — Barnstable’s own delegation helped move it forward.
🐚 Cape Cod translation:
“Vote for a tax cut? Cute. We’ll claw it back.”
And let’s not forget: Last year, Beacon Hill blocked tax relief on tips and overtime for the states workers — the very people who keep this Commonwealth running.
Now they’re coming after voters too.
💸 What’s at stake?
The ballot question would save the average taxpayer about $1,300 a year.
Beacon Hill’s response is to rewrite tax law so you get as little relief as possible. The billionaires tax, designated exclusively for education and highway maintenance could suddenly find some immoral, creative juggling of its assets.
⚓ This isn’t what the founders had in mind.
Government is supposed to answer to the people — not punish them for voting.
Cape Cod families are already stretched thin. Our cost of living is above that of the rest of the State. We deserve leaders who fight for affordability, not leaders who hide retaliation in rushed bills.
Ironically, last year they were recognized as the least productive of state legislatures, yet they were also spotlighted as one of the highest paid in the country.
Remember this in November. Save your wallet! Avoid all Progressive incumbents.
It's been:
📅 515 days
📅 73 weeks and 4 days
🕐 12360 hours
😴 515 sleeps
Since we demanded an audit, only to be told to pound Mayflower Beach sand.

The original date for yard debris was April 6,2026, now they are saying the landfill will be closed Sunday because of Easter and that yard debris will no longer be free after April 4,2026 O.K. I can understand Sunday (Easter) but why not Monday the 6Th? Again, did not someone
check the date for the 6th to be the last day of open for debris?

As a matter of fact, I think it should be till April 7th because it's closed Sunday for Easter.

The Friends of Pleasant Bay and the Pleasant Bay Alliance are holding a Coastal Salt Marsh Symposium on Monday, March 30th from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Community Center, 702 Main Street.

MASSACHUSETTS UGLY TRUTH

Hey Maura, the only one who is dumb here is you! There’s nothing dumb here except Maura Healey, her record of failure and her administration and raising 34 consecutive tax hikes costing us $15 billion dollars. We could take care of funding our cities and towns without a stupid and ridiculous motor vehicle excise tax; which is dumb and absolute garbage. Well we could fund a lot out of our existence budget; including the surplus and economy we used to have; if Maura Healey didn’t destroy our economy and take billions of dollars out of every single trust fund there is in the book.

Taxing you for your motor vehicle’s value is dumb! After the 34 taxes in a row, you call others dumb. HA! After the worst tax increases and fee increases in history, nobody wants any more of this, especially on their motor vehicle that we use to get to work and go places. But of course, driving is a luxury and you think a miles tax is a good idea. It’s dumb and it’s ridiculous and we are not gonna stand for it. The whole Live Free or Dumb; that Maura the clown had the nerve to call New Hampshire, Maura the clown must have been talking about herself. The motor vehicle excise tax is the one I have the most problems with and most people in this state I talk to.

It’s not even the worst tax believe it or not, but it’s the one that I and the majority of this state has the most problems with. Because it’s ludicrous and nonsense & it shouldn’t exist in the first place!

Well you know what is dumb? Maura Healey and anybody who supports her at this point! Kelly Ayotte, the more level headed Governor in New Hampshire who cares about her citizens and does just the opposite of what Maura Healey has done and continues to do. Another big reason why people in this state and flocking to New Hampshire and elsewhere to pay less & live a better life.

Her entire record is a record of failure and her record is dumb and that’s putting it lightly. No, her record is disgusting. You know what is dumb? Raising taxes 34 times in a row, raising spending by $15 billion dollars, spending $3.88 billion dollars on a migrant crisis, spending $12 million on SNAP fraud, blowing through the lottery and ma*****na budget! Oh you wanna talk about dumb?

Raiding $2.2 billion dollars out of environmental trust funds. This same Governor wants to call others dumb, blame Trump, you name it and yet raids the trusts funds, every trust fund in existence; money to clean up the Massachusetts bay, the educational fund, the fund for the ma*****na revenue, the lottery revenue, and over half a billion dollars is missing out of these lock boxes; ya know, the ones Maura Healey picks the lock off of and takes the money out of like a spoiled child in a store with mommy and daddy’s money. It’s just a big freaking joke.

Maura Healey calling others dumb is the height of irony and hypocrisy worse than anything going and she’s the worst ever in the history of Massachusetts. Nobody comes even close to her record of failure, destruction and embarrassment. Enough is enough! It’s time for a new Governor, real tax relief and new leadership. This is not it.

A friend sent me this the other day and I’ll say this town really pi**es me off, why because between half of the select board and our own town manager Jill Gold digger AKA, ( Jill Goldsmith ) won’t even lift a finger to help local towns people in a Blizzard/ nor’easter storm, and people without power for days February 23,24,25,26,27th . Think about the elderly people in this town for intense.
The Towns people around town are talking and are absolutely fed up, and want her ass out of office. Our own Chatham Community building is full equipped with a generator that was installed a little over a year ago to run the hole building with heat and lighting, also not the mention the ( old Chatham High School,) Now the middle school is also fully equipped with a genorator.
Time to wake up Chatham and realize what’s really going on!!
Below you’ll see a few of what Chatham people have to say….and the ugly truth is coming out.
Time to grow a pair Chatham Residents and speak out…..
