I think the BOS started that.
In a City, the budget process is different than the towns... and I think the City Council wanted to somehow promote they were being conservative with tax dollars... even though the tax rate is actually not the real means to confer that.
I think the town BOS just followed along.
I would love to change town budget votes to some time right after people got a tax bill in the mail... that would really do the trick.
