Impact analysis
Net effect on the town tax rate is estimated at $4.72, up from $4.28 currently — roughly a 44-cent increase per thousand of assessed value.
Residents keep town services funded while limiting the budget increase to 2.3%, below the 2.7% CPI.
Property taxpayers will see higher tax bills, and Councilor Duhaime argued deeper cuts could have reduced the burden.
