  1. guess we have a no vote to raise taxes. This was not a question to use fund from non tax increased means. I think we were asked to fund a additional 250k to add to road repairs like many towns do all the time. That also jeff doesn't point out was a no vote. Should we not fix roads for the simple reason people voted no to fund it. As we have proven our town would be in a rough place if the town didn't get the loader to help with the worst season the town has seen in many years.
