I’m sure my friend Bill is happy today— the tax cap proposal has been passed by the voters of Dover. Good for them!
The charter amendment passed Tuesday by a margin of 405 votes, with 3,225 votes in favor and 2,820 votes opposed.
When you add them to the growing list of cities that have capped taxes, coupled with the fact that in some towns– especially those with the "official ballot"–SB2– (like here in Gilford) we are seeing budget proposals with much smaller increases than in years past, you have to conclude that we might be in the midst of some sort of "taxpayers’ revolt." They’ve had enough and aren’t gonna take it anymore! One just wonders whether this sentiment will continue through to the elections next year. Will NH’s ruling Democrats pay a price for the huge spending increases that they have "given" the Granite State? Can the GOP somehow capitalize on all this?
