Killington residents approved a 1% local
option tax to fund a new town office for economic development.
But
as VPR’s Nina Keck reports, the two-to-one victory was hard won.
Killington residents will vote tomorrow on
whether or not to create a 1% local option tax on rooms and meals, sales and
alcohol.
Proponents
believe it will raise funds vital for economic development. But critics – including Killington ski resort – say the
tax is misguided.
