This story is slightly slanted due to a less than accurate representation of the facts. This NEW policy is a product of months of haggling. I think it's been on and off the table, been sent back to committee a couple of times.
The whole debate grew out of concerns that DONNA COPPOLA had that a LYNN group was being charged more to use the facility than a OUT-OF-TOWN group. A elaborate list was devised to prioritize who would have first use of the building.
The article sensationalizes the exorbitant cost of insurance which would appear to freeze out most groups. But that is not truly the case. Most groups are already covered by somebody's existing plan. The main concern is for FOR-PROFIT groups looking for a cheap place to have an event.
The REAL concern is the question of whether or not this policy gives too much power to the discretion of the SECRETARY OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE too much power in enforcing the hierarchy. Currently this is TOM IARIBINO who usually delegates it to ASST> BUSINESS MANAGER TOM BORGUE. Have any complaints, cares, or concerns? I'm sure they will be happy to help you.
