A story on Page B3 on Friday, July 18, about towns’ reactions to Somerset County tax bills indicated that the Unorganized Territory does not have surplus funds. According to UT Administrator Doreen Shieve, the UT does have a surplus but only the Legislature has the authority to release the money. Shieve said state law mandates that 90 percent of the surplus is used to reduce taxes each year.
