Don't forget the county portion of your tax bill...
Gilford taxpayers, along with the other communities that make up Belknap County, fund the county budget through property taxation. The county's budget is now being considered. As information comes along, we will post it and comment. Why would we scrutinize the local town and school budgets and give the county a pass? The County Convention meets this Monday, Dec. 11th at the County Complex at 7:00 PM to review the biggest single chunk of the budget- the nursing home.
.
Another piece of the budget that begs scrutiny is a $5,000.00 line item for the local non-profit public transit authority. As I've lamented in the past, it's bad enough my gas-tax dollars have to fund these wasteful programs, now my PROPERTY TAXES must get flushed down the drain as well?
