I agree to disagree with spouter about the increase in property taxes under new budget. Although the figure 14 percent is thrown around the rate really increased from .25 cents to .26.7 cents. That’s 1.7 cents per hundred dollars of valuation. I think that amounts to $170. dollars per million. Pickle ball should pay for itself just as tennis should. $80. doesn’t sound like a lot for 4 months of play. New lifeguard station is a waste of money but with our form of government council rules. We need a professional business manager and town planner.
