Debate over spending $400,000 on public restrooms in North Conway Village dominated the deliberative town meeting and is the most controversial money article on next Tuesday’s town ballot.
The reason? More than most tourist communities, we have a love-hate relationship with tourists. That makes approving $400,000 an uphill fight but one worth fighting for.
Good article, but remember your tax base population and resident population is two different things . There’s excess tax dollars coming in from folks who use no services . So to base what say the size of the police force off of residence population when there’s at least 40 percent non residents, non users of services is discounting all the free dollars coming from non residents that use little to no town services.
