To The Daily Sun,Several weeks ago I met with Laconia City Manager,Scott Myers, for the first time, to discuss issues related to the current budget. I asked the manager what he thought about the tax cap; he reminded me that Dover also had a tax cap. On April 28 there was an excellent article in this newspaper, by Michael Kitch, on the history of Laconia's tax cap. It makes no more sense to compare or contrast Laconia's teachers' salaries to other communities without realizing other factors. There seems to be no amount of tax-payer dollars that can be quantified to improve school data — graduation rate, test scores, etc.
