It's Unanimous - NO to proposed budget

By a 7-0 vote, our Morrisville elected officials sent a strong message to town staff - a 19% tax increase is too much. To our residents go much credit. They wrote. They phoned. They spoke to each other, to the media and to our elected officials. And Commissioners listened. Our board was well prepared last night, offering specific suggestions and general guidelines for staff. Their work is appreciated.

Now it's pencil sharpening time:

Budget Workshop (and likely final budget vote)
Wednesday June 25th 6:00 PM
Morrisville Town Hall
100 Town Hall Dr

Overflow parking, if needed, is available at the Morrisville Chamber of Commerce 260 Town Hall Dr. Vehicles parked directly on Town Hall Dr are subject to ticketing.

In addition to work on the budget and tax rate, leaders will have to revisit our Long Range Financial Plan. Passed by a 4-3 vote on April 22, (For: Faulkner, Johnson, Snyder, Stohlman; Against: Lyons, Martin, Murry) the plan is based on a tax rate of .4396.

Attend tonight's meeting if possible. And stay tuned. There's more to come.
