Town Manager: Water Rates 'Will Go Up'

The Shrewsbury Board of Selectmen is reviewing a proposal from the Town Manager to raise water rates for the town.

Water rates "will go up,” said Daniel Morgado, Shrewsbury town manager. When they will be raised, and by how much, is yet to be finalized. At the beginning of August, Morgado sent a memo to selectmen, asking for a review of the rate structure and and outlining how and why an increase was needed. Rates were last evaluated and restructured in 2008 and increases are now necessary to maintain provided water in an “appropriate fashion,” Morgado said. As proposed, a water customer who uses the median amount of water would be charged $35 per quarter. The average resident now pays $30 each quarter to have water services. In addition, usage costs of water would increase by 20 cents on each thousand gallons of water used, Morgado said. Currently, …

Selectmen Candidate Backs Out of Race

Shrewsbury Resident Bob Abrahams pulled papers, but will not be able to run in May.

A staunch opponent to the current Board of Selectmen, Shrewsbury resident Bob Abrahams had pulled papers to run against incumbent Selectman James Kane. "I really wanted to shake things up," Abrahams said. "I really think the town needs a change." Abrahams is part of the group Shrewsbury for Responsible Taxation and credits his group for the downfall of the vote to expand the current Shrewsbury Public Library. "The project is too big and expensive," Abrahams said. "This town is not made up of yuppies. Most of us are working class and at some point, the spending has to stop." Abrahams also hosts a talk show on Shrewsbury Media Cable and has lived in town most of his life. "I had to drop out of the race because I have to do another round of …

Jim Kane certainly deserves to be re-elected. He is a responsible voice of leadership on this Board. His deliberative and thorough approach to finding positive answers to difficult situations has gained him town-wide respect. We can't all agree on everything but Jim is hands-down the one to be leading our Town forward.   more ›
