Paying the price for bridge, library, school

ROCKINGHAM — RE: “Still waiting, moving on, still more to do,” Aug. 29:

Thanks for this informative article. As a Rockingham taxpayer whose taxes went up 17 percent this past year, I've been told that the cost of the Bartonsville Bridge plus the library renovations plus the school renovations guarantee years of double-digit tax increases.

Prospective real-estate buyers are already scared off by the town's steep taxes...to say nothing of how these taxes affect folks who already live here.

If FEMA doesn't come through, we are in trouble.
