It wasn’t a surprise that Blue River residents denied a ballot item that aimed to take away the cap on property taxes, since there wasn’t much support going into it. Seventy-nine people voted for it, while 351 voted against.
Blue River property taxes are used partially for roads and to police the town. Of the town’s $711,929 budget, about 2/3 of it originates from property taxes; the measure would have given the town about $33,800 in 2009. Voters against the ballot issue said the measure would have increased property bills by a minimum of $41.
Allyn Mosher, town treasurer, told the Summit Daily News that the denial won’t affect 2009’s budget, but it may cause a big problem in the future.
