Subject: A request for a cut to the city budget

I called into the public hearing on the city budget and asked about the Arlington Street Community
Center, which I was told had a cost of $82,900 for a director. Earlier in the meeting, the Mayor assured me that
necessary cuts had been made to the budget. However, the very next day, the Arlington Street Community
Center announced that they will be closed for the summer and all their activities will be virtual.
The kids of Nashua have all the online programming they will ever need. They don't need virtual programming
from a closed community center. With the uncertainty of businesses and homeowners being able to pay their
property taxes and a potentially serious shortfall hanging over our heads, a staff member for a closed
community center is exactly what needs to be cut from the budget. Please cut it. We can't afford it.
