To the Editor:
I see that the Town of Brunswick is thinking of raising our taxes by 7 percent. From all the construction that’s been going on the last few years — the unnecessarily large new police station — an eyesore, the newly renovated Town Hall, the redesigned College Street, the speed bumps on Maine Street that don’t accomplish a thing — it’s apparent that the town is spending money as if there were money to burn.
The proposed tax increase would sit a lot better if the town government was exercising some frugality!
