WHAT GIVES WITH THE NORTH BROOKFIELD TOWN HALL?

Dale Carnegie had a great quote about getting things done:

"I KNOW MEN IN THE RANKS AS THEY STAY IN THE RANKS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET THINGS DONE!"

Here it is almost September and the fabled North Brookfield Town Hall's paint job is stalled.. again! Scraping on the South side reveals much more work to be done. With a mechanized crane just sitting there I ask What the hell is going on?

On second thought, I think plastic siding is the answer not paint. With paint, after several years, it'll need painting again!

The Italianate  monstrosity reflects the community. Where is the pride of its citizens? At this rate, completion will be the Twelfth of Never!  Restoration will cost millions. Essentially this one building seems to have been abandoned.

Pro bono workers is not the answer: Businesses and  concerned citizens are. What about the Commonwealth of Massachusetts? With the billions raked in with the Lottery, clearly the North Brookfield Town Hall deserves help.
