End OverDevelopment and OverSpending in Truro Now

Deborah and Richard Slater

Truro is the last rural and peaceful town on the Cape and should remain so. It also is home to many on fixed incomes who cannot afford the rapidly escalating taxes. Part timers use very few of the services yet pay for all and the attitude of selectmen that part timers will foot the bill for over building and overspending without limits that will forever change the town is insulting and outrageous

Stop the runaway development!’Stop paying expensive consultants for things we don’t want.

I stand with all who urge caution in develpment planning and spending; Truro needs to survive as a rural community and have its own pace, not rush through what can be deeply regretable in years to come.

Water first, no overlay, no 30 mil dpw

Let's do it this time without the fear of everyone knowing how you voted!

Be rational!!!!

Stop overspending causing tax increases

Keep Truro rural

Keep North Truro quaint and clean

Yes to affordable housing for those who work in Truro. No the becoming the Upper Cape.

Truro’s water supply should be everyone’s concern of everyone’s. The fact that the town has not done a water feasibility study is alarming and suggests development trumps all other concerns. Who is this increased development actually going to benefit?

I support affordable housing, but only if it can be limited to those who work in Truro

(Excuse smarll-obviously, I meant small)

As a single person, taxes and just the cost of living on the lower Cape where we are “held hostage” to prices for everything, it is quickly becoming unaffordable. We have to return to a smarll-town budget and attitude.

Protecting our water is critical for Truro. Increasing nitrogen levels are the result of septic seepage and the spraying of fertilizers and pesticides on lawns that often sit beside a neighbors well or wetlands. Let’s protect our water supply on all fronts.

Water will become too scarce.

Especially now in this current inflationary economy with our country at war.

Truro does not need a massively over-scaled, over-engineered, over-priced DPW garage. The town must revisit first principles - find the most effective and efficient ways to provide services, also taking into consideration future technological developments.

The proposed DPW facility would cost taxpayers >$60mil over the term of financing. Property taxes are already rising too rapidly. Fiscal discipline and common sense need to prevail.

This is what happens when a small group of local people control the purse strings largely supported by non-residents. $30+mm for a DPW building is lunacy for a town of this size.
