I am not happy, but I am also not as angry as I was....... I still think it is kind of a crap sandwich... that allows the Town, to raise tax revenue, but still keep the overall Tax rate low, so they can still claim to have the lowest overall tax rate around the lake.....

We also were able to review our tax bill online today, and while I am not thrilled to have a tax increase, it’s not at all surprising. The responsibility of the taxpayers is to try to curb excessive spending at Town Hall. This can be best accomplished at the ballot box and by keeping in close touch with the BOS. Complaining to your neighbors is ineffective, but getting involved can be very positive.JMO.
