Residents press committee on tax projections and outreach for school referendum
Summary
Two residents at the Willington School Building Committee meeting asked the panel to clarify long-term mill-rate impacts of the school project and urged better outreach to voters, especially condo/apartment residents not receiving mailings.
Ralph Tillis, who identified himself as living on Village Shield Road in Wilmington, told the committee he had "two simple questions" focused on long-term budgeting and the effect of the project on the mill rate over the life of the debt service; he asked whether the committee had modeled inflationary effects and how 1 mill’s revenue value might change.
Steph Summers, canvassing roughly 100 voters, said many people mistakenly believed recent mailings were about a new school and asked the committee to simplify directions for where to find meetings, tour dates and explanatory materials. Summers offered to help with outreach after reporting several condominium residents had not received postcards.
