A Message From Madison Property Owners Association (MPOA)

Why must Madison’s property owners face significant town and education budget increases in times of declining property values? MPOA is very concerned with this “double whammy” especially during our still sluggish economic recovery.

Although supportive of Madison’s excellent school system, we think that some lower priority budget item cuts should be made to help offset and reduce the proposed 2.3% overall budget increase.

Why can’t Madison officials manage their fiscal responsibilities like we citizens are forced to do? If our expenses go up we must make trade-offs to accommodate them. Unlike the town, we can’t just adjust the mill rate to make everything fit!

Please join MPOA in our effort to demand that town leaders and Board of Finance become more responsive to voters in carrying out their fiscal responsibilities.

It’s important that Madison citizens turn out and make their voices heard at the public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, April 22, 2014, at 7:30 PM at Polson Middle School.

Take a stand on this budget and have your vote count at the budget referendum scheduled for May 13, 2014! If you will be out of town on that date, please contact the Town Clerk’s office for an absentee ballot.
