I rarely shut down comments on We Are Danvers posts. Everyone should have a chance to share their thoughts and disagree respectfully. But when discussions turn into personal attacks or ongoing arguments, sometimes it’s necessary to close the comments. My personal opinions on the issues will never be shared here. My goal is to keep our community informed and connected, while providing a respectful place for discussion. Thank you to everyone who helps keep it that way. —Mark

Town Faces Larger Projected Budget Gap Town Manager Jill Cahill brought the Select Board, School Committee and Finance Committee together at the Senior Center to discuss long-term finances and provide guidance to staff. No policy decisions were scheduled. Finance Director Rodney Conley reported a projected $2.5 million shortfall for FY2028, above the typical early estimate of $1.5 million to $1.7 million, with less flexibility to close it through revenue adjustments. Conley said the gap roughly equals the cost of 25 full-time positions, a comparison of scale—not a layoff proposal. Cahill noted that personnel makes up about 74% of the budget, so significant cuts could affect staffing and services.
