How about the landlords

How about the landlords fixing up themselves ? If this goes thru better have checks in place so the money is spent on what it is intended for, not used for other things like happened in the L/A area.

pay raises

shame on the dept heads by not hold cost down and asking for raises. i wish i could give myself a raise but the turth is i havent had one in 3 years as the company i work for battles a tough economy they also stopped matching my 401k and now my taxes are going to go up again? "I'm at $12 an hour and now I'm the lowest paid person" really really how much do you want? how much is everybody getting? we know what the tax payers are getting a higher tax bils.

can maintain the same level of staffing

the only way i see to maintain any level is if we regionlize services, for the last 10 to 12 years the subject has been brought up but nothing is done. I believe most of safety services can be combined with Mexico and Dixfield and other towns like Med - care , we can't just keep sending out higher tax bills, the last 10 years the area population has dropped and gotten older.

tis the season

budget season that is. for many years we hear about "shared services, merger and regionalize" but nothing nothing ever comes about! the river valley has half the population as it did 25 years ago and getting older and smaller. but yet we never explore the idea of combining fire and police and recreation etc... we just keep sending out larger tax bills each year. which park to we gather at?

wind

"A lot of people live farther away and believe (the development) will help us a little financially,” Greaney said. what doess that mean only Rumford residents voted on this and it will benefit us financially that statement alone tells you how out of touch the fromer town manager is

good start

it is astart the tax rate must be lower , i believe in services but that it must match the town needs and pocket book. i believe the town of rumford is now the 3rd largest employer in town!

sorry

sorry it is added past on to the customer fo service so it is a tax , the money must go into the general fund , along the other fees , as income for the town to help reduce tax bill .

correction

cable fees  ARE taxes and those monies should go into the general fund and then voted on by the town were they should go not left to the town selectmen , property taxes went up and Mr. Greaney is not happy with the amount his group got? how ungrateful!

I agree with candiceanne ,

I agree with candiceanne , this is why it should have been a secret vote not a special town meeting (or as i call it a gang vote) this had nothing to do or very little to do about advantages or dis-advantages of wind power but how they look on the mountains(NIMBY) . so are we going to do this for everything that’s comes to the river valley (lol) no 6 month waiting period for marden's so we could study the advantages and dis-advantages it would have on downtown shops.
So we lost 22.5% income business logic states you have to cut services , labor and benefit cost to stay open the wind farm could have helped , and they will not build it.
one last ramble .............what is the planning board's job

it is time to look into

it is time to look into combining the local fire ,police depts. in the 70's there was 9000-10000 people in rumford around 6000 in mexico now we are lucky to be around 9000 together .
