In this episode of the Best Little Town Podcast, Bart Warner, Bedford’s town manager, recaps the latest town council meeting. He covers the proposed budget for fiscal year 25–26, which remains balanced without any tax increases, and shares plans to handle potential revenue shortfalls in the future. Bart also talks about ongoing challenges with the town’s electric services and solid waste management. We’re introduced to the new police chief, Jim Moore, and there’s a strong focus on keeping the community informed and engaged. Special guests Reverend David Whitehurst and Jen Cohn join the conversation—David shares thoughts on community appreciation, and Jen highlights Autism Awareness Month.
