Writer tells Budget Committee: "Hang in there!"
As we have stated, we at GilfordGrok.com encourage active participation and dialogue about matters affecting our town. The following is a recent letter we received:
Editor, GilfordGrok,I would like to thank the Gilford budget committee for starting to lighten our heavy tax burden. Trying to get control of a heavily padded budget is very hard, and thankless. Many people I talk to like what we see so far, regardless of what town employees, or their wives, say. We just hope that you don’t run out of gas when it comes to the BIG one, the school. What I get for a raise not only goes to pay my higher health care premiums, it apparently goes toward covering the increase of town employees health care too. So between the two I seem to make less money every year, even with a raise. Maybe if the budget committee can get Gilfords budgets back in line I may see a year that I break even..
Again, Thank you Gilford Budget Committee! Hang in there!.
Kurt Gould Gilford
