Top issues during term (12)(Taxes Budget)
2027-2036 Capital Improvement Plan
The spending in question totals over $1 million across several appropriations, all from dedicated funds.
2026 Town Budget Review
Passing the budget means about $2,527 in town taxes on a $700,000 home — $182 less than 2025; failing it drops taxes another $0.47/thousand but triggers deep cuts.
Supporters of BCTV-WBNH 501(c)(3) nonprofit formation
Local gaming organizations have raised $200,000–$250,000, though results depend on luck of the draw.
Community Power program status
Residents could pay less for electricity supply if CPCNH's rate beats Eversource's after December.
Facilities Committee formation and fire station planning
Delivery delayed from fall; no late-delivery penalties were in the contract.
Keno and Games of Chance Prohibition Ballot Questions
No direct revenue to the town from either gambling option.
Disabled Veteran Tax Credit Increase
Full option 3 increases for both credits would add roughly $0.06 to the tax rate.
Recognition of departing Councilors Bemiss and Radke
Warrant Article #9 — no tax impact
The operating budget recommendation (5-1) and capital reserve articles shape what voters see on the March 10 ballot.
Town boundary markers (perambulation)
A few thousand dollars, well within the Town Manager's authority, potentially cost-shared with neighbors.
PILOT agreement with Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinic
The Town collects 50% of the tax rate on a property that would otherwise be fully tax-exempt.
Retirement of the South River Road TIF District
Unused TIF funds go back to the Town's general fund; no new spending.
