Money from somewhere

This is in response to Janice McDonald's letter "Cut excise tax" (Oct 25), about Question 2.

I have a 1993 car. When I paid my excise tax this month, I found it had gone up $10 to $100.

Why should anyone who buys a new car get a 55 percent cut on the excise tax? If the town doesn't get the money from the excise tax, it will get it from somewhere else, and that will probably be with an increase of the property tax.

Mr. Marston is correct. Increase in property taxes or a cut in town employees. You get your choice.
