Letter: It would be nice to get a tax rate freeze

Posted

To the editor:

We would like to echo Joe Collins’s suggestions about freezing the tax rate for people who are above 65 years of age. We have supported this town through our taxes for over 25 years. Having had two children go through the schools in Barrington, there have been a lot of years, after they graduated high school, that we did not have children in the school system. It would be nice to not have to pay further increases in the real estate tax bill.

He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
