We have a municipal budget that's up 28 percent because the town administer is giving himself a 30 percent raise and he's giving the rest of the municipal workers raises of at least 8 percent. He started out making $61,000 with no related degree and no related experience two years ago and if approved he'll be raking in over $100,000. He didn't like the old pay scale so he just found a new one and the select board approved it. He also wrote a contract where the town must give him at least a 4 percent COL raise annually and more if inflation is higher. Plus he gets $200 a month in gas money without needing to hand in receipts. Needless to say, our Front porch Forum comments have been interesting lately. We don't know what our taxes will be as this doesn't include education tax and our homes were reassessed last year but we weren't given the new property values.
