桑德兰选民决定提高税收,学校资金和预算削减. Sunderland voters decide on tax hike, school funding, and budget cuts.

桑德兰居民将在周五晚上举行的年度镇会议上投票通过80万美元的税收抵免,357,880美元的资本项目以及附属住房单位的条例修正案. Sunderland residents will vote on an $800,000 tax override, $357,880 in capital projects, and a bylaw amendment for accessory dwelling units at their annual Town Meeting on Friday evening. 通过这项计划,将房地产税提高10.7%,以解决预算缺口和为桑德兰小学增加10%的资金. The override would raise property taxes by 10.7% to address a budget shortfall and fund a 10% increase for Sunderland Elementary School, though it would still require staff reductions. 如果通过, 资金也将支持南县老年中心的搬迁和消防部门. If passed, the funds would also support the South County Senior Center’s relocation and the Fire Department. 校园的资金将会减少,图书馆时间和资料也会被削减, 警察的覆盖范围也会降低. A failure would result in flat school funding, cuts to library hours and materials, and reduced police coverage.
