Keene board asks governor to exempt EMS costs from property tax cap
Summary
The Town Board unanimously approved Resolution 290-2025 requesting the governor sign a law to allow towns to exempt Emergency Medical Services expenses from the property tax cap, a move the board framed as protecting EMS funding.
Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson introduced a resolution asking the governor to sign legislation that would permit towns to exempt Emergency Medical Services expenses from the property tax cap. The resolution (290-2025) was moved by Wilson and seconded by Robert Biesemeyer and was adopted unanimously by the board.
Board members framed the request as a protective measure for EMS funding; the resolution as recorded in the minutes asks state-level action rather than changing local tax policy directly. No sponsor of specific enabling statutory language was recorded in the transcript.
