Look over the warrant articles and see if you can afford them

To the editor,

After attending the Winnisquam Regional School District meeting on Saturday, March 19, I would like to thank the school board and the budget committee for working with the towns of Tilton, Sanbornton, and Northfield to help us with our school portion of the town budgets. I am confident that this cooperation will continue.

The Sanbornton town meeting is coming up in May and I would like to advise the taxpayers that the “Y” project bond issue and highway bond issue will substantially affect your tax rate in this budget. As you look over the warrant articles and budget line items, the residents need to be aware that any new monies voted into the budget will also have an impact on our tax rate. Remember, your vote controls property tax increases. So please become informed, ask your selectmen and budget committee members questions, attend the budget hearing, look over the warrant articles and decide which ones you can and cannot afford.

Dave Nickerson, Selectman

Town of Sanbornton
