I would be curious to know if the Housing Trust/Slush Fund Board will openly discuss and inform the public on the criteria on how residents can apply and what objective basis are funds granted. Given that at the last meeting’s agenda it was mentioned that a couple people received pubic funds because National Grid raised rates. Wouldn’t that increase apply to everyone? Who do they determine is worthy of these city funds? Especially since there is still no mention anywhere on this city’s website, or any other official municipal communications on how one can apply. I suspect one has to know someone or be a part of the in-group within Hudson’s nonprofit industrial complex. Especially since the new members are related presently, or in the past, to such groups—in this case, Spark, MHACG, etc…
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of National Grid, a good idea would be for the City to create a solar trust fund, with the objective being to install solar panels on every rooftop in Hudson. The City could acquire the funding, the residents would (after installation) pay a small monthly fee back to the fund until the balance of the installation cost was paid back. This would be offset by the savings on the power bills. Fee waivers could be applied to low income residents. Imagine every rooftop in Hudson solarized and feeding back into the grid for credit. National Grid wouldn't be pleased.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Ms. Tullo - still waiting on the FOIL responsives to the Hudson Roots program.
