Danville Budget Committee Meeting 01/20/09
This is the last budget committee meeting of the season.
Danville Budget Committee Meeting 12/09/08
Are we an SB2 town? Unfortunately we are. You don’t have to know anything…just vote.
It’s not unusual for politicians to hold taxpayers in contempt these days but our elected officials have enjoyed unbridled growth in spending and patronage. What are they unhappy about and what would our taxes be if they did not have to deal with SB2?
Here is the petition to for the ‘citizens’ warrant to repeal SB2 (not too many citizens on it). By a vote of 914 to 146, the rest of us rejected their petition.
Be sure to watch this meeting so that you do know something when you vote.
Danville Budget Committee Meeting 11/25/08
Planning Board, Cable Committee, and Zoning presentations. Discussion of the role of the Master Plan — desire to coordinate with SAU spending to stabilize tax growth. Suggestion that there ought to be about $422k in warrant article spending. Cable Committee is looking into broadcasting meetings for those who do not have cable. Lots of technical and legal issues…still no interest in putting the meetings on the internet. Zoning budget is DOWN 23%.

I haven’t watched this yet, and this week is cut off the Budget Committee schedule, but the Police Department budget is in the spotlight. It’s a must see as the PD budget is up 15% and includes a new vehicle which will hold up well because it will seldom be used…oh and they need a place to store it.

I haven’t watched this yet, and this week is cut off the Budget Committee schedule, but the Fire Department budget is in the spotlight. It’s a must see as the yet again is returning a surplus to the town. You can attribute this to poor planning, but I think most organizations would find a way to spend a surplus (I think the library returned $85). I don’t always agree with their priorities, but I trust them to spend their budget the way I spend mine. Remember to vote NO on any Safer Grant warrants. These will add bodies that we will be paying for after the first ‘free’ year (you know, like ‘NO TAX IMPACT’ TRSD kindergarten).
