Taxpayers are invited to a meeting Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Gremio Lusitano Club.
LUDLOW – A citizens group is planning a meeting for Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Gremio Lusitano Club at 385 Winsor Street to discuss ways to lower the property tax rate.
All taxpayers who think that taxes should go down are invited to the meeting and voice their ideas and thoughts.
“People are angry about their last tax increases,” Carlton Leonard, a town resident said. He said town officials have stated they want to keep taxes from rising more next year.
“We think taxes need to go down,” Leonard said.
An advertisement placed in local store fronts says, “This is a grass roots effort and every Ludlow taxpayer is welcome.”
Selectman William Rooney said he received many calls of complaint about the tax increase this year. Selectman Antonio Dos Santos said selectmen will be looking for savings in health insurance co-pays.
Rooney said, “We cannot afford health insurance increases.” “Otherwise, we will have layoffs and service reductions.”
