Letter to the Editor:
The BET held a meeting on capital projects requiring funding earlier this month. Most of the speakers gave compelling reasons why “their” project of choice needed to have priority.
I have lived in Greenwich for 44 years, and appreciate the efforts of Harry Fisher and the current BET to keep the mil rate reasonable. I hope the incoming Chair of the BET will differentiate between “nice to have” projects vs. “priority” projects. We can not afford to have a significant increase in the mil rate or to burden our children with paying off debt from financing other than priority projects! It would be a shame to force long-time residents and retirees out of Greenwich because of stratospherically high taxation. We don’t need any gold commodes!
