5 % Commuter Tax in Brattleboro for Non Residents
Commuter Tax in Brattleboro
Brattleboro is a hub for the economy in Windham country. The population is about 12, 000 and swells to some 30,000 during the day. Many people from outside the area and from New Hampshire enjoy working in Vermont, but they do not contribute to the local tax base. I propose a 5% commuter tax like they do in NYC or other places. In a sense
This is already done in Vermont, at the ski slopes, the price of a lift ticket pays for town services.
It is time that there is a commuter tax in Brattleboro.
