Dear Councilors,
In all the years I have been involved in the tax classification issue, there have been two items that just about every person could agree on:
1. We need to expand out tax base.
2. Too much of our property is tax exempt.
Tonight you have an opportunity to address both of those issues by voting in favor of the courthouse project that was negotiated by City Manager Augustus.
Let’s keep the momentum going. We have seen many positive economic projects advance in the past few weeks and months. A yes vote on this courthouse project is the right thing to do. It is the right message to send to potential developers who might want to come to Worcester to invest their money.
Best,
Gary Vecchio
Editor’s note: We hope he would run for Council.
