Lynn Rudmin Chong: Fallout from Tuesday’s voting regarding property tax caps
My Winnisquam School District's three towns fell for the trickery of Question No. 2. Sanbornton, Tilton, Northfield voted, 60% or more, "Yes." Question No. 2's wording includes a false promise: "These caps apply only to administrative operations of the SAU central office and do not affect classroom instruction, school-based services, or other municipal expenditures." School boards decide expenditures, hands off nothing. Republicans and Free Staters in our Statehouse were not honest with our voters, in their wording. A court see this as a legit problem? Tuesday's voting shows overwhelming statewide dissatisfaction with those writing the question.
