The Representative Town Meeting may not be the final arbiter of this coming year’s town budget. Instead, the Board of Finance may be the last town body to decide on the budget, without then sending it to the RTM. A proposal to do that is one of the items on the agenda for tonight’s 7:30 RTM Rules Committee meeting. You can listen to the meeting live, and see it shortly afterward online, but not submit comment on to the committee. The Rules Committee will also consider a proposal, described vaguely in committee documents posted online, for a local tax deferment program or “low intereste rate program” for town taxpayers.
