While police services takes the largest part of the budget, but residents value their police dept, therefore he had no short term solution to reducing taxes.

Shawna has gone on record saying the police dept needs more officers and equipment…..how to pay? Higher taxes……

That is until Parks want more of the budget. Why not look at the parks and rec budget this past year. Why have a budget set in place if that dept doesnt work within their budget? Plus, I was wondering where Dunn got his information from claiming Fred/Shawna will raise taxes? but no where in these responses did they say that nor at the forum (which he and frost did not attend). Ira responses if you look through past mintues, newsletters from the mayor, etc are all her wording. Good job!

They certainly help to differentiate the candidates’ knowledge and approach to town issues.
