Majority Respond To Our Poll: Let Utility Tax Expire On 4/1/09

More than half of the responses we received concerning the existing 2% Utility Tax, said, "Let it Expire."

That was not a surprise, although almost 1/3 of us thought keeping it to continue generating the $1.1 million revenue is a good idea.

The Town Council will make the definite decision in an upcoming vote. Chances are, the tax will expire.
