To the editor:
I attended the last [Stockbridge] Select Board meeting as the annual Tax Classification Hearing was on the agenda. The tax assessor presented three options very clearly and showed how the Massachusetts Adjusted Tax Exemption Rate and the Adjusted Business Tax Rate would benefit the town residents. Several people spoke in favor of the Residential Tax Exemption. No one spoke against it at the meeting. Yet when it came to a vote the majority voted against it. Only one voted for it. The selectmen are elected to do what is best for the town residents so why are they against us? I don’t believe that the two who voted against it should be selectmen. They do not care about the residents of this town.
