It took awhile, but I finally realized that the reason I couldn't get through to anyone at City Hall this morning on the phone is that the phones there are out.
When I finally reached someone who answered his cell phone, city Building Official Guy Morin, he told me the phones have been out all day.
He said he understands the city was switching carriers "and something went wrong."
So if you've been trying to call the city and getting messages saying the numbers are no longer valid, it's not a cost-cutting measure. It's just that something went awry and will, presumably, get fixed.

No one is answering the phones at City Hall? This may be a harbinger of things to come. Keep asking for city hall workers to be cut and there may well be no one to answer the calls soon enough! lol
Was this because of all the calls by the taxpayers. Bet ya.
Next time try walking over.
Walking is good for your health.
What a break for the staff!
Enjoy it!
The new phone system requires people to push a couple of extra buttons to get an outside line, and the city worker's Union complained because it was extra work and they demanded that the issued be bargained.
