We have been advised that some concerned taxpayers will be holding a discussion this coming Wednesday, February 4th, to discuss the challenges of how to hold the line on spending and property tax increases in Chatham. We are publishing their message and refer you to their website for further news about what they plan to do.

All Chatham, Massachusetts taxpayers concerned about increased spending and higher property taxes in these very difficult times are invited to attend the first meeting of what we are currently calling Chatham Concerned Taxpayers. It's a get-together, not a membership organization or a club or an association, just a gathering of like minded people who think fiscal discipline and not adding burdens to the taxpayers right now are good things. The details are below. We would appreciate an email saying you are coming and, by all means, bring a neighbor or two, to meet some other neighbors.

In light of this development, this website will no longer be covering Chatham financial matters, unless, of course, they fizzle out.
