## Resource

Budget season is back in earnest this week so RIP to all of Matt's free time and that's one of the reasons the recap part of the show is so short. But because budget season is back, we thought we'd give you a primer so y'all can get a quick reminder about how exactly past councils managed to have shot themselves in both feet, all 10 toes, the shins, knees and femurs over the past 30 years causing all of today's fiscal pain. It seems like a book club is a popular idea, so we will be reading Killed by a Traffic Engineer, by Wes Marshall and meeting to talk about it on Sunday, March 1, at 2:30 pm at Celtic Corner in Darmouth. Please email matt@grandparade.news to let us know if you are planning on coming by Valentine's day. We won't hold you to the RSVP, the pub just wants a better idea of the numbers to know where to put us.
