Voters OK Tax Collection Changes in Bennington Meeting
Bennington voters at a special town meeting approved two measures to speed tax billing based on the 1965 Grand List. The first authorizes the treasurer to mail bills after final assessments arrive, without a pre-set issue date. The second lets the treasurer set payment deadlines 30 to 90 days after bills go out, addressing issues after the 1966 Grand List was invalidated by a court challenge. A third article sought a published booklet comparing the 1965 Grand List with the current final list.
