ARUNDEL — Town Manager Todd Shea urged every
Arundel resident to vote in favor of the revisions to the RSU 21
cost-sharing formula at the Board of Selectmen meeting on Monday, Jan.
14.
Although the vote will not be held until
March 26, Shea said it is in the best interest of Arundel to support the
proposed 90/10 cost-sharing formula.
"We need to do everything in our power to try to get people out to vote and to vote yes," Shea said. "There's no reason why anyone in Arundel or Kennebunk should vote no."
The proposed 90/10 cost-sharing formula results in a reduction of $55 for each $100,000 assessed property value in Arundel, a $10 reduction per $100,000 assessed property value in Kennebunk and an increase of $23 per $100,000 in Kennebunkport.
Shea said although Arundel has struggled to bring residents out to the polls, this vote is crucial for Arundel's future and to help keep the tax rate under control.
"Every single vote counts," Shea said.
