This committee is sick of swallowing the fact that there isn't enough money. We don't want to do that anymore.

It's the one time the Board of Selectmen truly has an opportunity to assist the people of Norwood who make this town what it is -- who pay the bills.

This is not a wish list, as some would call it. This is a needs list.

This is our opportunity as leaders of the community to assist these residents.

United may have to pay more cash to the PBGC and others … and it'd be difficult to find the money. They'll either have to get the banks to advance more or go find an equity sponsor who will put enough cash in there that creditors will get a meaningful distribution.

The issue here is not spending more money but rather how the money is spent. We need to put more money into the classroom and spend less on the administration.
