LIVERMORE FALLS – Selectmen will continue their budget review when they meet at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the municipal building.
Included on the agenda will be a review of the highway department, transfer station and paving budgets as well as a capital improvement plan and other accounts, as time allows.
The board plans to continue its budget work on March 29, taking up the recreation, library and fire department accounts.
In his notes to the board, Town Manager Alan Gove reviewed the various proposals for tax relief, expressing his concerns that people will turn to the Palesky tax cap that he terms a “natural disaster waiting to happen.”
If the state loses a source of revenue, such as the personal property tax, it will have to be made up somewhere else, Gove reasons, and that probably will be by homeowners and small businesses, he says.
The manager also says that doing away with the Homestead exemption, as one proposal calls for, it would add about $150 to some homeowners’ tax bills.
