Close the Town down, not just the senior center.
From the March 1, 2018 Town Administrator report;
The good news is the school district is not looking for $750 thousand more, they are reportedly only looking for $485 thousand additional dollars over last years assessment.
That is $335 thousand more than the Town of Templeton can do without devastating the Town budget.
Some made suggestions Templeton go for a larger tax override (permanent tax increase) to cover this.
Phillipston finance committee appeared okay with funding there portion.
See, just pay more taxes and you will be okay.
Narragansett budget hearing is March 21, 2018 and the administrator feels the Town should have a well thought out plan and a strong presence at the meeting. Oops a daisey, we got budget meeting of the Town on that date/advisory committee meeting as well, almost as if planned so it would be hard for Templeton selectmen and advisory committee to attend. I say scrap the budget hearings and pack the house at the school and let them know what you think.
Don’t be “ Phreeloading “ now ! Pay what’s fair now . Templeton needs to pay their share.
ReplyDeleteAs is this would appear to amount to an override of something like $1.30 per $1000 this year.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm getting Happy.
Wow, so if thats accurate we are looking at $18.02 plus the school, plus the police station......Thats over $20.00 per $1000 right there. Thats a really quick $4.00 jump on top of rising valuations.
ReplyDeleteIs it time for the Happy dance..........We need Marijuana, or at least I do.........lol
A lot of people will need a stiff drink or something. This will devistate people who are on a fixed income.
ReplyDeleteWe either figure out how to make money or cut. We have no businesses to help float the boat, so it is on the taxpayers backs.This has been coming and I told Capilis over 5 years ago to make our government more efficient. Did he listen ? He'll no, now old and young will pay the price.
