Check the link from July 5th on this subject.
On 15 July, the select board of Shoreham received a letter on the subject of allowing the people in Shoreham to vote to increase, from $10,000 to $40,000, the property tax exemption for their four qualified veterans.
The writer wished to speak at the board meeting.
The reply from the town clerk
said that they, “discussed” the writer’s request and “they do not want to pursue any change in exemption at this time.”
Why should Shoreham change the $10,000 exemption? Only 32 years passed since the town graciously gave veterans the exemption, now they are cheeky enough ask for more.
After all, WE allowed them to serve. How stupid of them to become disabled, isn’t it damn ungrateful of them.
The next thing they’ll want special seating at the Veteran’s Day Memorial.
You know it never stops!

What’s this going to cost the town, $2000.00 for all 4 vets?
Great show people! You need a new Selectboard and fewer flatlanders. Wasn’t it one of the new fools there, who put the apple co-op out of business a few years back. Yeah!
This is appalling! Shame on the elected officials of Shoreham, Vt. Time for residents to vote these bums out of office in the next election.
