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.........

It's the school budget that needs to be examined. They have lost several teachers but teachers costs still go up. There seem to be other areas where the school budget needs questioning.
