Jim Haff addresses Killington voters

Dear Editor,

I’ve decided to run for selectman again. I’m in the process of putting together information why I think you should be voting for me, which will be based on the budget that’s in front of us to vote on, March 3. I believe that if we keep going in the direction that the current administration is pointing us toward we will see the municipal tax rate inflate dramatically.

Please look to the next publication of The Mountain Times where I will show you examples of what I’m talking about with this administration and their budget proposal. I hope you all keep an open mind while reading this next week and voting on March 3.

I will also show you where I think the town should be headed. I hope all come out to vote. And I hope all the voters look at the facts and make their decisions from there.

Thank you,

Jim Haff, Killington

By Bryce Sammel Editor’s note: Bryce Sammel, of Barnard, previously served on and chaired both the Barnard Academy and Mountain Views school boards. Vermonters are rightly worried about taxes.
