Attached is a link to a letter, written by Amy Coskie of Shrewsbury, to the editor of the Community Advocate. In the letter, Coskie endorses a proposition 2 and 1/2 override that would allow Shrewsbury, MA real estate taxes to go up. The writer says that the schools are running with deficits, and the police and fire departments, are understaffed.
Coskie also argues that the taxes in Shrewsbury are relatively low compared to surrounding communities, and data from the Massachusetts Department of revenue backs the writer's claims. Here are the 2013 residential property tax rates for Shrewsbury, MA real estate, and the surrounding communities.
Shrewsbury, Mass Real Estate - $11.67
Northborough, Mass Real Estate - $16.11
Southborough, Mass Real Estate - $16.14
Westborough, Mass Real Estate - $18.97
