Taxpayers before you vote for this bond, look at what we already have to pay out on pending bonds and what the planning board has in the works. Such as: building a fire station at Willard Square, capital improvements on the main library, the armory, and a new public facility.
Is this going to be another bond issue or just raise our taxes more?
South Portland is in debt for $29.8 million and they want to go in to debt for another $85 million? This will put you and I the taxpayers in debt for a tune of $114.8 million.
Can you afford this?
