I agree that transferring money from the bloated police budget to things that actually serve the community is a great idea too.

Money they you’ll never see any direct benefits too. Parks and roads are good enough and if not balance the budget. Sorry I can’t afford even another $50 a year.

There’s an LKQ in Leominster. They have a huge network of parts across the country. They’ll have your one wheel for your car. Used them when my dad needed 1 wheel and it was an easy process.

Adopting this policy means we gain access to a statewide pool of monies that we can’t get otherwise, but are already paying into through surcharges on real estate transactions. In other words, by passing this, we get access to way more money than it costs us in taxes.

Go down granite st and pick a spot, if the two junk yards don’t got a rim that matches u can try linders shop, they may be able to get u something and it’s all on one street!

Alternatively, you can try linders. They’re right next to Sam’s. If you do end up going to Sam’s, you’re going to want to bring a jack and lug wrench or breaker bar with the correct size socket.
They would be the cheapest place and they have price lists on the website, you do have to pull the rim yourself there and then likely pull the old tire off.

I really appreciate the response. I couldn't find anything even close to local, but it looks like a lot of these places are used to shipping. It's funny I didn't think of this. I did some software engineering work for a mechanic who wanted a custom inventory supply application, and I had to connect the car-part.com web site to his new software. Thank you for reminding me of it - again, really appreciated!

Try Sam’s Pull-A-Part, not sure how good they are, I’ve only been there once, But they’re close by and I think worth a shot

Car-part.com go to the section labeled axle. Scroll down to wheel with image and then select the wheel you have. It will then tell you where the nearest ones are located. Terms of junk yards, the grades go from A to near perfect down to see which is a lot of scrapes and scratches. Good luck!

If it’s such little money.. I’m sure they can figure it out with the existing budget. Just like the rest of us adults do every week. The poor and middle class pay enough taxes.

There’s a little more to it. Here’s what I know.
Cable TV is a scam, but most of that has to do with the contract between the CATV provider and the content provider. Ever wonder why there are so many bullshit channels nobody watches? Companies like Viacom won’t let you just get MTV and Nickelodeon. No, you have to pay for and carry their entire fucking lineup. All the providers get nickel and dimed to death carrying stuff most people won’t more than click through.
Remember when NFL Network was brand new? Remember when it took so fucking long to get? That’s because their opening demand was that it be put on the basic tier. Pretty much everyone. For $1/mo per subscriber.
Upstream issues are technical. The HFC plant separates upstream and downstream by a cutoff frequency. The biggest impedance to getting more bandwidth at the bottom was WGBH, channel 2. Thus, the cutoff frequency was an absurdly low 40 MHz.
After it all went digital OTA, and all the analog services were decom’d, then it becomes possible to move the split to a higher frequency. But, that infrastructure takes massive amounts of time and equipment to implement. I can’t speak to where this is at.

We switched from Fords to Colonial. I would 100% definitely recommend them over Fords.

My neighbors did as well.
Edit: they were threatened with a fine for keeping their leaves in a pile in their yard. So they raked them into the street instead.

Our leaf pick up isn’t until the end of the month, so my neighbor tried to be a good citizen and rake their leaves into tidy, but rather large pile in a corner of their backyard (visible from the street ). They fully planned to put them in the street when the street signs went up.
They got a letter from DPW saying they were violating city ordinance or something AND threatening a $200 fine if they didn’t remove the leaf pile within 7 days. It was deemed “excessive yard debris”. So they raked them into the street instead.
Jay Fink and the other people who at DPW are a joke.

If they’re doing the fall lights this year imo it’s not worth it. Get tickets for the winter light show it’s so pretty. Later on in December you could checkout Christmas on runway in Lancaster. They do Their whole house up with lasers/lights broadcast Music etc. it’s awesome but it’s been dumb packed every year and the show gets shorter the longer the line.
