So I decided to look at the budget.... I find something interesting.....
The BoS budget projected in 2009 was 10,285,500 and the acutal expenditure was 8,675,459.... and now the purposed budget is 9,604,424.... I think they over shoot last year, and are still over shooting this year. Which how be it is not a totally bad thing.... but descrepancy in estimating and actuallity are what cause higher taxes
Now the general operation budget is off too.... they show spending almost 1M& less then they projected but yet are still asking for almost the same amount again....
In short, while I believe the Town is smart to plan for unforseen events by padding budgets. A 1M$ padding seems a bit excessive.........
