Speak Out: Take the Survey on Town Taxes & the Surplus

Sat, Dec 11, 2010

Voice your opinion on the Town of Hamilton fund surplus and the decision to use some of it lower taxes. What should become of the rest of the money?

On Thursday, the Town of Hamilton Board of Trustees voted 3-2 -- after much discussion (some of it rancorous) -- to use an additional $50,000 to all but eliminate any tax increase for the 2011 budget.

At that public hearing, Supervisor Bob Kuiper suggested he would form a committee to study and make suggestions about what to do with the remaining fund balance.

1. Do you agree with the board decision to use funds accummulated over the past several years to lower taxes for 2011? If so, why?

2. What do you think such a committee should do with the money?
