SAVE THE NASHUA SPENDING CAP
Guard Your Wallet
Twenty five years ago Nashua's taxpayers revolted against uncontrolled city spending causing skyrocketing property taxes by electing a spending cap in a taxpayers’ sponsored referendum. The spending cap limits annual city spending increases to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation index while allowing for a supermajority vote to override the limit for emergencies.
The tax-and-spenders in Nashua's local government were horrified that voters would have the audacity to place limits on their ability to spend money on wasteful projects and excessive salaries and benefits for government unionized employees.
The prophesied collapse of Nashua government never materialized. The city's finances and property taxes have been reasonably controlled since the spending cap was enacted.
The spending cap prevailed against repeated attempts at repeal in local elections, invalidation through court action and evasion through budgetary manipulation.
But the special interests who hate the cap never stop. A local court recently decided the spending cap to be “unenforceable,” leaving city government, after more than two decades, free to again spend without restriction.
City Hall recently announced Nashua’s property tax burden may shift by as much as 10% from commercial to residential property owners as a result of a city-wide revaluation. Added to the annual budget increase the Nashua taxpayer can expect this year, on average, a hefty increase approaching $1,000 in his annual tax bill.
Save the Nashua Spending Cap
Two former Nashua aldermen have appealed to the NH Supreme Court to reverse the very flawed and highly prejudiced local court decision. If you are concerned about Nashua's property taxes ballooning out of control, same as the early '90's precipitated the spending cap, you can help safeguard your own wallet by restoring a limit on city spending!
Your contribution to this campaign will to help offset expenses to bring awareness of this issue to Nashua taxpayers and support all efforts to SAVE THE SPENDING CAP!
Please SHARE this campaign with your friends and neighbors and make a generous contribution to this worthy cause.
