The town HAS a library.
This NOT an essential need, it's a want. To spend money the town doesn't have on something that is not critical is irresponsible at best. Also consider this will not cost 4 Million, it'll be 2-3 times that after interest so I'd bet this is really an 8 Million dollar project. Furthermore once again it is demonstrated that there is little to no restraint in what is done, a town the size of Meredith doesn't need a sprawling McLibrary for 6000 full time residents.
That following the ridiculous McDPW building passed last year that is so overpriced it's obscene.
That assumes both will be completed at the budgeted amount which you know it won't.
All while as was mentioned earlier the town can't seem to find the money to fix the fire boat.
I think the town should just name itself to McMeredith. Pretty soon it will be to snobby and exclusive for a real deal McDonalds.
These towns are completely out of control.
