Tax breaks should be based on demonstrated need. In 2008, the Barrington Town Council did'nt bother to ask if there actually was a financial need. Since then, there has never been a review by the Council as to whether there actually exists financial need at EBCDC.
in FY 2012, EBCDC showed revenues of $2,109,357, and expenses of $1,003,028. Not bad for a "non-profit."
Then there are 6 "other" EBCDC entities with $1,046,587 in unaccounted revenue / expense streams. The Sweetbriar Limited Partnership is one of the 6 entities. How does anyone figure out if there actually exists a need for a tax break?
Transparency is long overdue.
