Engaged Citizen Corner: FY22 – The Recovery Budget


Engaged Citizen Corner: FY22 – The Recovery Budget
League of Women Voters of Brookline, Diana McClure
Finances are always on our minds, and it’s no different for the town as it considers its FY22 budget in the midst of multiple COVID impacts. Town Administrator Mel Kleckner and Deputy Town Administrator Melissa Goff followed up on their Brookline Budget Forum held for the general public on Jan. 14 with a presentation on the impacts of COVID on the FY22 budget, presented on March 19 as a League of Women Voters of Brookline Friday conversation.  
The Feb. 8 Engaged Citizen Corner article — What about the Money? — summarizes Brookline’s budgetary process. The emphasis here is on the impacts of COVID and the anticipated benefits that the estimated $34.2 million from the American Rescue Act, signed into law March 11, will bring to Brookline.

Engaged Citizen Corner: 'Warn' the Town


Engaged Citizen Corner: ‘Warn’ the Town
League of Women Voters of Brookline, Diana McClure with Felina Silver Robinson
The opening of the warrant — which “warns the town” that town meeting is coming up and what Warrant Articles/subjects, both legislation and budget recommendations, will come before it — were the topic of discussion at the League of Women Voters of Brookline 2nd Friday virtual event Feb. 12. As Brookline’s legislative body, our representative town meeting has sole authority to create, repeal or amend the town’s bylaws and to make budgetary decisions. 
Two long-time town meeting and advisory committee members, Neil Gordon and Sean Lynn-Jones, explained the writing and processing of warrant articles before town meeting convenes and Town Counsel Joslin Murphy discussed assistance her office provides in reviewing such draft legislation. The discussion focused on how a Brookline resident can transform the seed of an idea into legislation — a warrant article — and potentially into policy and practice of the town.
