Our Town Manager, Denise McNair, proposed a $79 million municipal budget to the Town Council last night. This $79 million budget represents a 3.25% over the current Town budget of $75.5 million.
The major contributor to the budget increase is the Berlin Board of Education's 2.69% increase in its budget, primarily the result of increases in salaries for teachers and school administrators. Teachers with graduate degrees and fourteen years of experience will be earning between $80,193 and $88,735 next year for teaching students in school for 183 days. For additional work days beyond 188 days, teachers will be compensated at a rate based upon each teacher's per diem salary, or as much as $472 per day.
Can you afford to pay even more taxes to the Town of Berlin? Isn't it time you became involved and did something about it?
We need your involvement. Join the Berlin Property Owners Association and let's stop these annual increases in property taxes.
Thank you.
