The consultant proposing the deal, Charles D. Fasnacht III, regional president of Energy Education Inc., said other districts are already saving money: Plymouth has saved over $2.4 million in three years, Taunton nearly $1 million in 18 months and Wareham has saved over $1 million in 4-5 years. Norton, Bridgewater-Raynham and Braintree schools are on board too.

An idea long overdue!

Is there a reason the Selectmen can't do this?
Betty, you might try lack of leadership?
Here are the Selectmen a month later dithering about how to appoint the committee. Dither they will! Marsha still hasn't figured out the issue. Would Roger please explain it to her?
Dr. Sullivan spoke before the Board of Selectmen and commented that there was nothing that could be done about energy costs. If you review what this group has accomplished in other communities, you will discover that they pick the low hanging fruit that should be obvious to anyone. The contract is a step in the right direction but needs to be followed up with additional action. If school employees were paying the bills, they'd come up with some better ideas. Maybe it's time for an incentive program as well.
