Your hospital emergency room provides no service for dental care. They tell you that you need to see a dentist. The town has an ambulance service so why not a dental program?
Does the town employee, police, teacher and 5 selectmen's "Cadillac" health insurance plan contain dental insurance? What do you think? Yes, it does!
Do you have dental insurance?
How come the town can spend $750,000 for a big red truck and zero for an adult and child dental program? |
You have a point there. Laconia just teared down a middle school that was 40 years old for a brand new one that doesn't hold any more students than the old one. Now they want to build a new high school when the old high school had 1200 students 50 years ago. Now it houses 800 students! With the unemployment rate high in Laconia, this rate does not include the 'underemployment' folks as well as those who went from full time to part time. With foreclosures up and many people can not afford their taxes, we have a school board that is still looking for a new high school! I'd say give it a rest until the economy is better! Lynch is doing his part in reigning in the state spending. Why can't the local communities do the same?????
