This town is a fraud

These Stats are flat out lies. What the stats don't show is the town has no grocery store with exception to a novelty store that carries meat at high prices. A large network of low-income housing. I can't even get a job at Mcdonald's or Family Dollar and I was in retail for 10 years and hold an insurance license. You have to drive at least 30 minutes away for a higher paying job. The only people making any money are the owners of certain business and when emailed to the town about allowing and seeking out high paying companies to set up shop, it's met with silence. You can't even get them to pass a much-needed Noise Ordinance law so basically, you have to call the police and all they do is document loud music and the calls have to be so frequent, it finally goes to court after one year of continuous violations for the 125.00 fine and these people are back at it the next day. I haven't mentioned a former police officer stole almost 10k from the police fund? Oh, I have now. No town is perfect...I get that, but this town just doesn't have the type of opportunity needed for its citizens. Even the school system isn't up to par. The highest education goes to the kids at The Winchendon School, a private 7 kids to one class school. They rake in millions for kids coming from Asia and wealthy neighborhoods. All the while kids graduating Murdock have less of a chance of going off to college than other schools. As of 2018 Murdock met only 43% of target metrics and is classified as "In need of focused/targeted support
Low subgroup performance: White" Don't be fooled, it's not a good place to live unless you fall into the wealthy category.
