Making the grade on
education
State Sen. Terry Murray,
who hosted a "budget field
hearing" on local aid, early
childhood and K-12 education
March 1at town hall, started
things off with a reminder
that the commonwealth' s
finances won't be anythingto
write home about for a while
longer. She cited projections
for "non-existent"job growth
in the next few years.
Meanwhile, children must
be educated, and that wasthe
focus ofthe hearing.Members
of the Department of Educa-
tion reported on improved
MCASscores,andfaced ques-
tions about proposed changes
in the education funding
formula.
Falling enrollments won't
help the case of towns like
Barnstable for more money.
A state official said the town
has been losing students for
five years and is now down
to 5,975 from 7,049 in fiscal
year 2002.

on cable channel in March
every Sunday at 8 p.m.

Of Paleologos and
Christy
Phil Paleologos, the diner
owner from New Bedford
who'srunning against incum-
bent Carole Fiolaof FallRiver
to southeastern Massachu-
setts' seat on the governor's
council, was in Hyannis last
month to speak to the Cape
Cod Republican Club.Lt.Gov.
Kerry Healey, who's angling
for the number 1spot , spoke
also.
Some of the conversation
must have centered around
Cape businessman Christy
Minos, who has decided to
eschew the Republican pri-
mary for governor and run as
an independent.

Rights panel
CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1
the end of this fiscal year
(June 30).
In a letter to committee
chair Charlotte Striebel of
Yarmouth, who did not at-
tend the meeting, Hadley
wrote that, without some
financial support after July
1, "there is simply no way
the Commission can begin
to discharge its mandate
regarding the intake and
resolution of complaints."
During Wednesday's dis-
cussion , the chairs and
committee members dis-
cussed the need for at least
a part-time coordinator for
the commission. On Thurs-
day, county commissioners
chairman Bill Doherty said
the panel has access to
just such a person in Steve
Brown of the county hu-
man services department.
Doherty said Brown's post
was made full-time for the
current fiscal year partly in
anticipation that he would
be involved in the work of
the commission.
Brown's status was not
discussed at Wednesday's
Assembly committee meet-
ing.
The commission'sbudget
was zero-funded for FY07,
according to Doherty, be-
cause of the anticipation
of Brown's assistance, the
proponents ' promise that
outside funding would be
available, and the condition
ofthe county'sfinances. The
latter prompted asevere re-
duction inproposed funding
for human services.
• "We don't think based
upon the reduction in the
amount of money we're
seeing coming in (from the
Registry of Deeds) that we
should anticipate the addi-
tion of personnel," Doherty
said.
On Wednesday, Hadley
and Fields said they were
working with the county's
resource development office
on grant applications. ;
