Just as I have been predicting, the loss of revenues from
the landfill will fall squarely on the taxpayers of Southbridge
The budget
presentation for the next fiscal year proposes to eliminate $920,000 from
landfill revenues that the town relies upon to finance its operating budget.
And how is this accomplished? Simple –
Gross Increase at Projected Tax Levy for the next fiscal year increase by
$994,429.
At the same time, when adjusted for the increased tax rate,
the contribution from new growth is projected to decline by almost 20%.
