Joe and his staff will refer residents to Steve Baran <br />who can help assess their need and make appropriate referrals. In Sudbury, where Joe <br />lives, the Board of Assessors has been directed by the Selectmen and /or Town Meeting to <br />use a liberal interpretation of Chapter 18, a state abatement program. The Selectmen will <br />learn more about Chapter 18 and we will monitor the impact of the circuit breaker <br />legislation. The latter should provide aid to residents in need. <br />Fund Balance: (as of February 2001) <br />Income: $42,070.92 <br />Money approved but not spent from 11/17/2000 meeting $ 3,750.00 <br />Money available until next fundraiser $38,320.92 <br />(does not include approved items from 3/19/01 meeting) <br />
