West Hartford Taxpayers Association


What is the West Hartford Taxpayers Association (WHTA)?
The West Hartford Taxpayers Association is a group that opposed the budget last year. Their Web site states that they were founded to "Monitor The Running And Management Of West Hartford's Town Government".

We agree with the WHTA that

  1. West Hartford residents should be educated about the budget
  2. The budget process should be transparent and
  3. Town services should be provided at a fair cost.

However, we believe that we should all know more about the valuable town services from which we all benefit. We also believe that, in most cases, the costs are fair and that tough decisions are already being made to keep the budget reasonable.
