Letter To The Editor
To The Editor
Give credit where credit is due.
I have been a tax payer in Gilmanton for forty years. My
recollection is that the tax rate has increased for thirty-eight of
those years. We had a minimal decrease in 2012 and an outstanding
decrease of 9.4% this year. This decrease is due to the efforts of
our Selectmen to control town spending. We need to thank our
Selectmen, Town Administrator, Department Heads and the Budget
Committee for this tax reduction.
On the other hand, our School Board and Superintendent have over
budgeted in excess of $500,000.00 a year for the last three years.
We need to get school spending under control. Please review the
School Budget closely before you vote in March.
