The Meredith DPW does an outstanding job despite having basically a shed for their home, and they deserve to get a real building complete with windows, heat, quality design and usable people space inside. Things like locker rooms, rest rooms, a kitchen, offices, heat, lighting, utilities, design and use all add up to make it a quality DPW ..... which it already is ..... but they really deserve a new home building.
Like, who plows the roads and does everything else? A new Meredith DPW home building will be town money, well spent.

How many businesses offer their employees a kitchen?
Maybe Taylor's Family Restaurant would still be around if the Meredith DPW employees supported local eateries.
Silicon Valley has started outlawing employers from giving employees free gourmet lunches with the intent of supporting the local economy.
I don't think it's the Govt.'s responsibility to set eating requirements for employers/employees one-way-or-the-other.
However...Does this not escalate their "high" utility bill further at my expense? I pay my high taxes which I now know includes the cost of the DPW cooking lunch. I pay for my own utilities when I cook my meals.
I know, it doesn't amount to much, but a lot of "not amounting to much" amounts to a lot!
How many times has Meredith used that new expensive fire engine capable of reaching the top stories of high-rise buildings?
