The Weekly Question

What do you think of the Palesky tax cap?

“Vote no on one. My husband is a firefighter and I don’t want him to lose his job.”

Michelle Riitamo, Glenburn

“I wouldn’t want a tax cap put on if it takes money away from the humanities or other service areas needed in the community.”

Dr. Monica M. Collins, Bangor

“From what I’ve been reading, I’m going to vote no.”

Jane Dickson, Bangor

“I want to vote for it, but I don’t dare to. Towns have to get their money somehow, but I’m tired of paying high taxes.”

Terry Leavitt, Orrington

“I think it’s bad because of the impact it will have on town services.”

Vicki Gonyea, Hermon

“I think it’s a mixed bag. It encourages fiscal responsibility, but initially it will stress many small towns.”

Jim Green, Winterport

“If the taxes do lower then I’m for it, but money for the towns needs to come from somewhere.”

Harold Gallagher, Bangor

“I’m not for it. I think it’s going to put too much of a burden on the municipalities.”

Ken Schiano, Bangor
