The senior center is being co-opted by the town for numerous other purposes. The town's administration and governing bodies are dominated by school interests. Most seniors are pro-school, but the cost of the newest projects for children (mega-expensive school, senseless rink) are crippling the town's resources. Some residents in town with children are actively anti-seniors, vocally blaming seniors for current burdens.
