PUTNEY-I enthusiastically support Mike Mrowicki's candidacy for the Vermont House of Representatives (Windham-4, Putney and Dummerston).
As a taxpayer, I am deeply concerned about affordability. I want to be able to live my life in this place, within this community, and in this state that I love. Putney's property taxes went up significantly this year; many people in town are concerned that they will be priced out of their homes.
Mike's No. 1 priority in the next legislative session is equitable tax policy. He recognizes this problem and is working hard to fix it, by changing the education tax structure to make it more progressive and by introducing a cap on property tax increases. He will ensure that the ability to pay, especially for those on a fixed income, is a prime consideration in revamping the formulas that determine property tax bills.
As a teacher, I know that our community's children deserve good schools with caring, professional staff. Teaching the next generation is an honor and a privilege that I take very seriously.
