It's the holiday season, and for many, it's a time of year filled with traditions among families and communities.
In Vermont we also have a unique tradition that kicks off the month of December: the annual receipt of the Vermont's Tax Commissioner's statutorily required letter to the legislature regarding anticipated property-tax rates.
This event, while not anticipated with as much fondness as other time-honored religious and secular conventions, is a predictable, if not pleasant, opening salvo in the annual education-property-tax public debate.
This year, Vermonters are possibly facing a $0.09 increase per $100 of equalized education property value.
