No one likes to pay extra taxes but it's the only way town, state, and federal projects get funded. Someone mentioned the Big Dig in Boston, that was certainly a boondoggle full of cost overruns and corruption but it was the best thing that ever happened to Boston.
Things need repairs and updating, going cheap usually ends up with bad results.
My home is in Meredith and I heard lots of complaints about the cost of the new Library and Town DPW building but they were needed and well worth the funds. I visited the Library and it's magnificent, a crown jewel of the town, IMO.
If I'm going to pay more in taxes I'm glad to see the end products are beautiful additions to a beautiful town!
