Vite Bene:

I do beleive that the Lake front property owners have a reason to bitch.

I have a lake front property but am a resident of Moultonberry. My kids went to the schools in town and I receive the services provided by the town 12 months a year. I also get to VOTE.

My neighbors who pay the same property taxes or more but who live away, say Hudaon or Derry, don't get the same deal.

None of us get town water, town sewerage or a full time fire department. Many of the lakeside people (most) have to maintain their own roads. In short, they get squat for their tax dollars. What's worse they have no say in how the tax money is spent.

Why not build an olympic size pool at the transfer station? How about an indor skating rink and ski jump on red hill? Who cares? The money just falls from the sky and plops on our heads! The people paying the bills can't say no!

It's like my daughters going to the mall! Swipe the card and dad can't say no but has to pay the bill any way! Gota love this town!

Sorry Vite. The "property owners" who can't vote (I accept that) and also can't talk in town meeting ( I do not accept that) have a true reason to bitch.

Not that it would help. No one is listening.
