Mayor Carter reiterated his points of:
1. Town's reserves balance very healthy
2. Town's projected revenues very conservative
3. Town's reserve balance too much and the Council
has the discretion to return it the citizens or
spend as it sees fit
4. Actually raising taxes because the I & S fell
to .0730 from .8000
5. Town's budget did increase, but so did tax
collections
