The Town of Gilford has a nice fire boat that's kept next to the MP docks in Glendale.

If someone chose to live out on Locke's Island full time, year round, and adopted 15 different children, all with special needs-special olympics type challenges, the Town of Gilford would be obigated to enroll them all into the Gilford schools or a suitable school.

Realistically, there's probably a number of Gilford families with two or three kids in the Gilford schools who pay maybe $3000/year in property taxes. So's, you Gilford Islanders should be proud of yourselves because you are capable of carrying the heavy load. Maybe the town could create a nice bumper sticker that recognizes the heavy hitters of their Gilford property tax league?

If the Dow Jones industrial average were still hovering at 14000, like it was two years ago, would we be hearing these same complaints about high island property taxes right now?
