I hesitate to share this with you as I have only told maybe two other people. And I haven’t even told my family. But here it is; this could help you not waste a dozen expensive cookies like I did. 10/04/2023 09:00 AM

What should you ask a financial advisor?

Managing your finances and investing for your future are important tasks — and they can be challenging. But you don’t have to go it alone. Many people benefit from working with a financial advisor, someone who knows their needs and goals and makes appropriate recommendations. If you’re considering getting some help, you’ll want to ensure a particular financial advisor is right for you, so it’s a good idea to ask questions. 10/04/2023 09:00 AM

Letter to the Editor

In the past few days several issues have been raised regarding the governing body of the City of New Boston. I would like to address those as Mayor of this great city. The issues I want to address are the feeling that things are done in backrooms without public knowledge, the rate hike for water and sewer services, the proposed tax rate, and a former city employee still being paid by the city in their position at the 3 Bostons Museum. I will start with the latter. 09/12/2023 11:00 AM
