Glad to see that the pay and benefits of school committee and City Councilors are being reviewed. I believe that both positions should be on a voluntary basis without pay and expenses just as all of the appointed board and commission members serve. Too many times members seek those elected positions to increase their years of civil service entitlement and for the fringe benefit of health insurance. We have lots of good members to both boards let’s see what they are willing to give back to the city by serving at no cost to the tax payers.
