Nashua City Hall has decided to ignore the Spending Cap in regard to the proposed budget for next year.
Instead of acknowledging that the mayor’s proposed budget exceeds the Spending Cap by $6.58 million it has falsified the calculation to claim the budget is $113.3 million below the spending cap.
Nashua residents should be grateful to Mr. Fred Teeboom for authoring and participating in various lawsuits concerning the Spending Cap’s validity. Mr. Teeboom has sent information to the Mayor Donchess, CFO John Griffin, City Attorney Bolton, and all members of the Board of Aldermen to inform them that the mayor’s proposed budget is over the Spending Cap by $6.58 million.
The Spending Cap was restored last year through State Legislative action and the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Nashua are obligated to comply with the law, not deliberately corrupt its intent by falsifying the calculation.
The mayor is also hiding the anticipated tax rate associated with the proposed budget. It seems like the City of Nashua wants no transparency when it comes to taxes and spending.
Please take the time to review the information below that Mr. Teeboom sent the mayor and other city officials to demonstrate that the city’s budget proposed for the next year exceeds the limits of the Spending Cap by $6.58 million which adds over 3% to the tax rate.
