Council Sends 9M Bond to Voters

by Haik Bedrosian

We have to vote “yes.” If we don’t borrow this now at current rates, then the city’s credit rating will slide off a cliff. Nobody likes taxes, but life is expensive. Pay a little now, or pay a lot later. There are no other alternatives.

Bear in mind our aquaducts need replacing. In August a sewer structure from 1879 collapsed under Main Street. Burlington is not a new city, by North American standards.
