There was alot of back and forth discussion when the original tax cap was proposed and I may have missed an important distinction. I have heard that the cap was meant to apply to the Town budget, but NOT the School budget. So I'm wondering if Committee Member Jones intends to make a distinction between the two and hope she may comment publicly on the matter. Thank you!
Warrant articles for the town and school are separate, as are their budgets and their ballots. At present the town has a 4% tax cap. The school has no tax cap. A cap was proposed a couple of years ago, amended at the deliberative session to 10%, then rejected by the voters.
The warrant articles proposed here are for the town. I received no warrant articles that apply to the school.
Thanks Doug. I knew they had separate budgets and warrant articles but, I did think the cap applied to both. I appreciate you clearing that thought for me.
