Talking Points

When calling or writing, please be considerate of the Selectmens' time and be brief, polite, and to the point. Here are a few "talking points" you may wish to use:

• Our property taxes are high and services have been cut despite a recent override. We can't afford to see our tax base eroded by social service agencies which not only don't bring money, but actively cost the town money in police, fire, and other services.
  
  
• SMOC and similar facilities cause more than their share of problems for the police and fire departments -- and Framingham taxpayers pay for them.
  
  
• Framingham already has more than its share of social service agencies. For instance, we have more SMOC units than Marlboro, Natick, Waltham, Ashland, Worcester, and Hudson combined -- despite having less than 1/4 the population! You may also wish to refer them to the Worcester Regional Reseach Bureau's report "Siting Residential Social Service Programs: The Process and the Options," which showed pretty convincingly that Framingham host far more than its share of social services.
