Templeton tax recap sheet for FY2017 is now posted on the DLS website, under the gateway tab.

The thing is on the recap sheet, it shows estimated motor vehicle receipts estimated as $1,000,000.00. On the document handed out at town meeting, it shows estimated excise tax receipts as $1,110,000.00. It also shows projected local receipts as $2,887,513.00 on the town meeting document and on the tax recap sheet, it shows estimated FY 2017 receipts of $2,640,943.00. The question is, what number was used to project what the tax rate needed to be to raise enough money to cover the appropriations at Town meeting? Why do the numbers not match what was presented at town meeting?
