I oppose this bill. This is another attempt to cap budgets and take away control of local citizens and local elected officials. Every year we have voting and elections, meetings throughout the year and in my town Public Hearings and Deliberative Sessions. This allows taxpayers to decide who they want representing them and how they want their money spent. A default budget is how a town or school makes sure that what has to be paid for, by law or need, is. No matter which budget is passed, there are always payments that need to be made. This would be devastating to towns and I feel irresponsible for state legislators to support.
