A few times a year, the ToUC.org offers commentary and suggestions on town finances, such as: the town budget (November), the annual independent audit of the town’s finances (summer), and hearing involving town expenditures (e.g., creation of a new administrative position, Comptroller). In brief, the town’s finances are healthy, so robust that taxes should not be raised. We made the public assertions for the past few years, but the Town Board acted otherwise. Budget preparations of the town are so generous in detail that they distract a casual observer from being able “to see the forest for the trees.” We see both the forest and the trees.
