Town Raises Yard Waste Fee
The Town Board has raised the Yard Waste fee from $25 annually to $50.00 annually. The fee increase (see Resolution #57) was agreed to at the Town Board meeting held on January 15. This is an outrageous increase on Town residents. This increase, coupled with the huge property tax increase that we face this year (6.0% plus) is just an example of a Town out of control. If you have been buying the Yard Waste sticker every year and are unhappy about this - send your protest via e-mail to the Town Board or the Supervisor.
