Selectboard Meeting Notes – Summer Is Fines & The Living is Fee-zy
The second regular meeting of July for the Brattleboro Selectboard was focused on properties. How much should we fine owners of vacant properties, can we ask the pesky, service-sucking non-profits in town to cough up some cold hard cash every quarter, and how much should we raise water and sewer rates?
The former Home Depot building eyesore, however, is exempt and not vacant according to the way the Town wrote the ordinance. And some questioned why the Town RTM would give money, then ask for it back.
And, there was more discussion of Henry George at a public meeting than there has been in perhaps over a century. : )
