Joint Ownership

Earlier this year a group of Bradley residents whom reside on the East Side of Chemo approached the Town of Clifton about doing some business and maybe even being annexed and becoming part of Clifton. See these folks have to drive 40 miles for trash, do business at the town office and receive little for their waterfront tax base. Wonderful idea, welcome to Clifton. But that brings me to our taxes and form of government. Both Clifton and Eddington have full time town offices that cost a lot of dollars to operate. Why not reduce our hours to say one day a week and contract some work with Eddington, such are vehicle registrations. Most all fish/game material and licenses can be done on the internet, so about the only reason to visit for most people once a year is to pay taxes and registar the car. We could give Eddington an agent fee - heck until a few years ago we didn't handle registrations. I thinking with the short fall of money we need to be thinking outside the box. How about getting four or five towns together to do trash and animal control while we are at it, it appears to be working well for the fire department. Maybe we should look at becoming unincorpated and be a township under LURC
