Should taxpayers' money go to fund the Stroud Water Research Center?
At the Sept. 3 township meeting, West Marlborough supervisor Bill Wylie expressed concerns over a fundraising solicitation the township received from the research center, located on Spencer Road.
Mr. Wylie said there was no doubt that the center does good work and is a well-known, first-class institution, but "I'm struggling a little" to justify using tax dollars to fund a private entity.
"Where does it end?" he asked rhetorically. "How many things can we fund?"
The supervisors agreed that the topic needed more discussion.
In another tax-related matter, Mr. Wylie said that the township's EMS Task Force has completed its research into how West Marlborough should fund the emergency services companies that serve the township. The money involved "won't be inconsequential in terms of taxes," he warned. The report will be presented to the public at the Oct. 1 township meeting.
