'21 Moultonborough Tax Rate Delay

[tummyman]

According to this weeks Town Administrator weekly report and a discussion with town officials, it appears the "problem" has been caused solely by the SAU45 School Board / Administration who have failed to meet the required due dates for forms to be submitted to the state. And it seems they may not have been submitted as of yet. We are not talking about a day or so late....we are talking about WEEKS!!! I do not understand how they can miss important dates and cause problems for taxpayers at year end. Where is the accountability?? The schools need to do their job ON TIME and submit their data immediately if they have not done so. If you go to the NH DRA web site, there are six pages of cities/towns that have had their tax rates approved, so others are able to get the job done on time.

Sure, schools (and other government entities) should be getting their stuff done on time, but I'm not angry about the delay (nor do I think anyone else should be). I mean, I'm not exactly chomping at the bit to give money away, right?!

I was merely asking to confirm I hadn't missed anything and to make sure I didn't need to make a change in budgeting as we get into the Christmas season. We've already started to hemorrhage money, soooo...
