FM #639 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 639 in the series. 

This session of the radio show shares my "Talk Franklin" conversation with Town Administrator Jamie Hellen and Marketing Communication Specialist Lily Rivera. We had our conversation via conference bridge to adhere to the ‘social distancing’ requirements of this pandemic period.

We talk about: 

• Finance Committee meeting
• Human Resources presentation by Karen Bratt
• Veterans tax rate increase
• Senior Workoff program increase
• Both pending approval by Town Council
• ARPA accounting
• Oct 20 – Town Council
• New precinct plan per 2020 Census data
