Nancy Woodle, who saw the taxes on her Lost Lake home shoot up by 70 percent last year, said she is torn about the coming town referendum.
Selectmen are proposing a debt exclusion, or a temporary tax increase, to pay for a $2.5 million school bond so the town wouldn't have to use its operational budget.
"I don't want to lose any more town services," said Woodle, a retired medical technologist. But then again, "we are sensitive to the fact that the taxes are going up," she said of her neighbors on the lake, where property assessments skyrocketed due to recent home sales in the area.
