Rindge, please vote “yes” for Article 15
On Tuesday, March 10, I am urging Rindge voters to vote “YES” on Warrant Article 15 – “Protect The Taxpayer.”
This warrant article asks residents of Rindge whether the New Hampshire legislature should protect local taxpayers by ensuring adequate state revenues for essential services and avoiding policies that shift costs onto local property taxpayers. In recent years, reductions in key state revenue sources have forced towns and counties to raise property taxes to sustain education, healthcare, county nursing homes, public safety, and local infrastructure. These shifts place heavier burdens on working families, strain municipal budgets, limit flexibility, and undermine long-term community prosperity. A state budget that prevents downshifting and restores municipal revenue sharing would ease pressure on property taxpayers and strengthen communities across New Hampshire.
If the article passes, the Rindge Select Board shall send the results of this vote to the Governor and all members of the New Hampshire General Court who represent the town within 30 days of the second session of the 2026 Town Meeting. A “yes” vote would send a message to Concord that our Rindge property taxes are already too high.
