Why not implement PAYT right now and avoid the override?
The Board of Selectmen feels very strongly that a PAYT program should have the support of the community indicated by a vote. The Selectmen considered including a PAYT program as part of the revenue package with an override and decided it was too many issues to consider at once. They want to come back to the voters with a PAYT question on the town election ballot next spring. If the question passes, some of the cost of trash collection and disposal will shift to a PAYT user fee. The savings will be passed on to taxpayers in the form of a decrease in their tax rates.
