Dave, do your self a favor and go to Town Hall like I did and look at the budget proposal, once you do then make an educated comment. I went today and spent a good amount of time looking over it and now can understand the reasoning, it is not rocket science.

If values came down expenses go up slightly due to UNION contracts that cant be broken, the only way is to make an adjustment is to increase the tax.

The average home in Bristol has a value of $250,000. the increase is only $93 a year.... so where you getting your numbers from.... take time to get informed and by the way the Administrators named is spelled TEIXEIRA.

From: Bristol budget talks begin with tax hike proposal
