EDDINGTON TOWN LIENS & FORECLOSURES

In talking with a member of the staff at Eddington Town Office the other day, I learned the Office has had to place more liens on properties this year than in years past. NOTE: "Liens" occur when people have not paid their property taxes - taxes which not only support town government expenses but, in the case of Eddington, are 51% comprised of costs imposed by the SAD 63 school budget.

When the Town Office had to call to notify the associated banks of the aforementioned Liens, the Town Office learned that 4 of the homes were in FORECLOSURE. As sad as it is to say, this is all a part of the financial and economic times. So when we say, over and over, to those involved in the budgeting process relating to the SAD 63 school budget that THERE IS NO MORE MONEY, perhaps some one will begin to listen - hopefully.

As to spending $49,000.00 to relocate the Central Office of SAD 63 from the Holbrook Middle School to the Holden School under the current fiscal situation - "LUDICROUS" doesn't begin to describe the expenditure.
