Wicked Local
Many residents and business owners who feel financially strained due to the COVID-19 pandemic, are unhappy about the Select Board s recent decision on Jan. 22 to put a $6.4 million override question on the ballot in the upcoming town election.
For a home assessed at $1.25 million, this would increase the property taxes by $896.
Why not delay putting override on ballot?
