Topsham needs Annalyse Sarvinas | Letter

A letter argues that Topsham’s property tax increases are outpacing inflation and calls for candidates focused on lower taxes, highlighting Annalyse Sarvinas as the local legislative choice. The writer says the 2025 inflation rate was about 2.6–2.7% and notes the Fed forecast for 2026 at 3.7%. They report receiving a property tax bill 8.3% higher than last year, calling it more than double the inflation rate. The letter also claims property tax stabilization for seniors—described as a real benefit—was tabled and allowed to expire, with no vote by seniors to oppose it. The author frames the issue as affordability for fixed-income elderly residents.
