To the Editor:
Great Barrington is being taxed to death. At our recent town meeting no one seemed to be concerned about what the high taxes are doing to the citizens of Great Barrington, especially the older retired citizens who are on a fixed income and are getting to the point where they are being forced to put their house on the market and moving to a tax friendly town. Will the water filling stations be coin operated? Our water is metered and it is not fair to give free water to any Tom, Dick or Harry who wants to come to town and fill their gallon jugs. If the water at the filling stations is free then our water at home should be free also. There are a number of empty stores in Great Barrington and approximately 179 homes for sale in Great Barrington. There is no reason for our young people to come back to Great Barrington after they have completed their education. Something has to change in this town.
