Concerned Citizens: The PCC
was founded in 1998 by a group of citizens who
believed that property taxes in Portsmouth had
reached a level of harm for some of our citizens
and had become an excessive burden to all. It is
our fundamental and passionate belief that property
taxes have risen to levels that hurt our citizens,
and that the cost of town government is the reason
for high property taxes - not high property values.
It is our view that the idea that the scope of
government should naturally grow year after year
is false. As a consequence, we have established
a specific budgetary goal for our town government:
the yearly growth in the cost of government should
not exceed the rate of inflation of the previous
year. |

Kingstown Taxpayers Association NK
taxpayers see the "value" in
educating our children and giving
them extracurricular opportunities,
along with maintaining roads and
dams, providing services for senior
citizens, and providing public safety. Keeping
those priorities in mind, we cannot
afford to "waste" taxpayers' dollars,
particularly during this period of budget crisis
at both the state and local level and while
people are being taxed out of their homes.
NK taxpayers are looking for accountability,
transparency
and fairness. |
