Williamstown Finance Committee Reviews Town's Capital PlanBy Stephen Dravis, iBerkshires Staff
04:12AM / Monday, April 12, 2021 | |
 WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Finance Committee last week concluded its review of the town's fiscal 2022 spending plan and made plans to vote its recommendations next week. The last major item up for discussion was the capital spending plan for FY22, which represents about 6 percent of town hall spending, or $650,000. That represents a $90,800 increase from the current fiscal year, but as Town Manager Jason Hoch reminded the Fin Common on Wednesday, $650,000 is closer to what the town had been investing in infrastructure before it dialed back that budget last summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The largest single item in the capital plan is $203,000 for erosion 0 Comments

@theMarket: Stocks Grind Higher as Bond Yields RetreatBy Bill Schmick,
03:56PM / Friday, April 09, 2021 | |
 April is usually a good month for markets. Historically, it is one of the three best months of the year for equities. We all know what happens in May ("sell in May and go away") but we will worry about that later. Over in the bond market, the bond vigilantes may have started to doubt their conviction that inflation is a fait accompli and so yields must go up. This week, yields declined a bit, which gave a boost to some sectors (gold and silver, for example), while banks pulled back a little. But Friday's Producer Price Index report for March reversed that. PPI was up 1 percent versus expectations that were only half that, which brings the year-over-year gain to 4.3 0 Comments
