June 23
  • Doughtery Cementary (Milestrip Road)
    • ​Dave and Lynn Jones, along with Town Historian, Gerald Davies cleaned the Revolutionary War veterans headstones.
  • Our sales tax revenue is up .25% from last year.  The county and towns are concerned that we will not receive the 1% sales tax share from the state.  The Senate and Assembly adjourned without voting on it.  It would help if citizens would notify Senator Valeskey and assemblyman Magee that this is huge for the county and towns, as the sales tax is almost 20% of our budget.
