Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The task force is moving toward recommending additional local revenue to avoid further reductions in town and school services. Members said rising costs, including health insurance, mandated services, and other obligations, are outpacing the 2.5% revenue-growth limit. The group will further analyze the $11 million scenario, prepare a report for the Selectboard, and develop public information materials explaining the trade-offs.
