I am guessing these opinions about spending too much are coming from people that don't actually live in the town. I have absolutely no complaints about the way Moultonboro spends their money. They are much more conservative then other towns around us. That is not to say people don't try to get things voted because they see other towns wasting money but it rarely happens.
I don't see us trying to build or vote in huge school budgets or try to get new schools built. The town has to have tax money for services for full time residents. Go look at the schools and equipment in them. Very, very modest at best.
Please if you have a second home I can understand you want the lowest rate possible because you don't use the services but some of us are full times residents and do need a modest amount of services. Remember why you bought your second home in Moultonboro for the low tax rate and it has stayed low for many years.
If you have a problem with the assesments that is one issue but I don't see why anybody should be complaining about how much money Moultonboro spends.
Also remember Moultonboro is one of the few if not only town to spend money on taking care of Milfoil so waterfront property owners values don't decrease and the lake can be more enjoyable when you are up here using it in the summer. That is tax dollars at work for us lakefront owners.
