First and foremost, a big thank you to Southbridge’s
own Mike Murray for leading the charge in a justified fight that will be heard
on Beacon Hill later
this week. It can be argued whether Mr. Smith can truly go to
Washington anymore, but he certainly can go to Boston.
I vividly remember coming home one afternoon and
being surprised to see a postcard from the Quaboag Regional School District in
my mailbox, touting the classes being offered, technology available, athletics
and extra-curricular activities, and more. It seemed quite fitting that I found
it nestled among flyers from used car dealers. It was later that day when my
phone rang with Mike Murray on the other end, clearly agitated over the use of
public funds to entice locals to send their kids — and tax dollars — elsewhere.
