Council gets a tough task done right!

LOWELL -- The quick coming together of the Lowell City Council in regard to the city's new fiscal budget is a good sign of maturity and common sense by the elected body.

The council could have played games and tweaked some numbers, but instead recognized this was a reasonable compromise for spending over the next 12 months that won't kill taxpayers, won't harm city workers, won't reduce city services, won't see huge increases in fees and will continue investing in the future of Lowell.

Lakeville facing budget crunch, tough choices coming .

Selectmen Charles Evirs and Derek Maksy, who were in attendance, said no major additional revenue is expected next year, since several projects, such as LeBaron Residential and the National Development project at the former Lakeville Hospital are behind schedule
In a story in South Coast Today it was pointed out............

We have to look for other sources of revenue," Mr. Maksy said

Any ideas for where Mr Maksy might find additional revuenue streams to pay for the public structures that make Lakeville a good place to live?
