Longer-form draft.
At the Affordable Tomorrow Committee meeting on May 28, 2026, several topics were discussed that directly impact Bradford residents, ranging from municipal revenue to financial transparency. One notable discussion involved the Bradford Center Meeting House. While the town owns the land, the building itself is owned and maintained by a nonprofit group. Committee members discussed the potential for a ground lease, noting that such an arrangement could serve as a new source of revenue for the town. While no formal vote was taken, this raises important questions about how town-owned assets are being utilized to support the municipal budget. The meeting also touched on ongoing community frustrations regarding the property tax burden. While the committee provided an educational overview of how tax rates are set and how Tax Anticipation Notes (TANs) function as a line of credit, the discussion did not provide solutions for residents struggling with high taxes. Finally, the committee addressed past allegations of financial fraud reported in the local newspaper. Committee members defended the town's CPA, stating that balance sheet discrepancies are often the result of complex municipal accounting regulations rather than intentional misconduct. As the committee prepares to transfer its current materials and a proposed resident survey to the Select Board, residents should remain engaged in how these issues are addressed by town leadership. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/bradford/affordable-tomorrow/2026-05-28/ #MeetingWatch #BradfordNH
