Hi folks...as a home owner in Moutonboro where a large number of us are not primary residents...have a vacation cottage, we don't have any opportunity to vote on the budget/tax rate/school spending etc....Moultonboro enjoys tax revenues with a significant number of owners not using the services....Do any other towns have some voting right when we pay the local taxes??? any talk of changing this.....Here in my CT town on town issues. referendums and budgets votes, all property owners have the eligibilty to vote. Any history and regulations on this would be helpful.....It just seems that only a few decide on local spending not the vacation home owners who provide a huge tax income for the town.
