Proposed 6% increase in town budget

The new budget was proposed last night by Mr. Feldman and it contains an increase of over $10 million from the previous year. That equates to an increase of 6.1% which will once again fall on the taxpayers. This is very close to the amount voted down by a referendum last year. We can do better than this and you can be assured that there will be people in town who will make sure management works harder to make ends meet and also allow us to keep more of our hard earned dollar. Not all of the residents in this town make hundreds of thousands of dollars per year and can absorb huge increases in property taxes year in and year out. It's time town management recognizes this. Have a great Thursday! Mark
