It is human nature to complain about taxes, but there is a solution. People need to get involved in what is happening in their town. Get on the Advisory Budget Committee or run for an office, etc. etc. In M'boro, schools are spending huge amounts of money and just ignoring taxpayers. Just recently 8 people announced retirement and even with low enrollment, the school board has decided to hire replacements...another stick in taxpayers eyes. One of the retirees was a principal. Why do they need three principals and a Supt. of less than 500 students? Dumb.... There is no accountability. Watch the school meetings on-line.....but see that only one or two residents show up and ask questions. Same for Select Board. There are lots of very smart people around, but most just pay their tax bills and grumble. Get off your butt and get involved...or just suck it in and pay. Up to you.....
