BRATTLEBORO-Once again, I read comments from state representatives that are just unbelievable.
Our reps in Montpelier are positioning the recent property tax increase as a tax cut.
It goes like this: The initial budget they put forth would have resulted in an educational tax increase of 22%. After jockeying some things around and implementing some new taxes, they held the increase to 9%. These legislators then herald this as a 13% tax cut because they didn't go up the full 22%.
This bad math makes me believe that our reps take us for fools. This is reason enough to vote out incumbents.
