In Wilmington a controversial Vermont Tax Department property reappraisal that raised town valuations by at least 18 million was rejected at a special town meeting. Over 200 voters by voice vote directed the Board of Sisters to set aside the state appraisal, assess valuations independently, and hire counsel and assistance.
