Let the SB2 Debate Begin
Saturday, April 18th, 2009Voters in Bow have the opportunity to take another look at SB2. In the past SB2 has come very close to passing in Bow but the opposition to SB2 is very well financed and has been successful in peeling off enough voters by unfairly framing SB2 in a negative light. Anyone who is concerned with their property taxes knows that the Town/School Meeting form of government has failed them and failed them miserably. Bow property taxes have increased year after year, doubling, tripling, and even quadrupling for many hard working Bow Taxpayers.
SB2 is very popular and effective in many towns the size of Bow through out NH. In fact when given the choice to go back to the Town/School Meeting form of government there isn’t a single town with a population anywhere near Bow’s who has decided to go back to the inferior Town/School Meeting form of government. In fact this year a town near Bow voted almost 3 to 1 to keep SB2 and that tells you something. It is guaranteed during SB2 debate you will hear the scare tactics against SB2. So keep in mind that SB2 always gives you the option to go back to what we have now if we choose to. The real question is why wouldn’t Bow try SB2? What do we have to lose except maybe sky high tax bills.
