Editorial on Town Meeting tax outlook and school funding
The editorial notes little prospect of a tax rate cut from 2.47 per 100 despite the town meeting warnings. It highlights a 121600 school appropriation and a proposed 50 foot Washington Street widening with an unclear land purchase plan and a possible $25,000 offset to the Guiteras Memorial School site. It raises questions about paying twice for town land and hints at ongoing fiscal explanations by the School Committee.
