Franklin Candidates and Voters Share Issues

According to the Laconia Daily Sun, candidates and voters in Franklin have a largely shared understanding of the issues at stake: schools are straining under a pinched budget and a teacher shortage; roads and sidewalks are in increasingly rough shape; the historic opera house, a cherished arts space by local youth which doubles as City Hall, ought to be repaired for safe use; and as revitalization picks up steam, the city must find ways to fund these imperatives that do not overburden taxpayers.
