Item 4. General Public Comments.
Rachel Hendrickson of 9 Plantation Drive spoke on a resolve regarding the Governor’s Budget
and that other Communities have adopted this resolve in opposition to the Governors Biennial
budget.
Rick Shinay of 9 Hampton Circle asked that the Resolve be read into the minutes.
Ms. Hendrickson read the following proposed resolve into the minutes:
Whereas, the Governor’s unprecedented biennial budget proposal places
towns in an untenable and uncertain fiscal position during their budget
planning; and,
Whereas, the proposal includes the elimination of $283 million in
municipal revenue sharing; falls $200 million short of funding local
schools at the 55% level passed in referendum; would cut the state’s
reimbursement for General Assistance by an estimated $6.7 million;
would eliminate the Homestead Exemption for anyone under the age of
65; would eliminate the “circuit breaker” property tax and rent relief
program for anyone under the age of 65; would take $8 million in truck
excise tax revenue from towns; and would create a corporate tax
exemption for large amounts of currently taxable property, resulting in
significant losses of local tax revenue; and,
Whereas, the Governor’s proposal also contains cuts to health and human
services such as prescription drugs for the elderly and disabled; to all
funding for clean elections; to the wages and benefits of public workers;
while also rejecting federal funds to make health care affordable for over
44,000 Mainers; and,
Whereas, all of the above shifts costs to towns, whose only major means
of raising revenue if property taxes, be it
Resolved, Scarborough calls upon the Maine Legislature to reject these
proposals identify less harmful cost savings, and raise revenue in an
equitable fashion to avoid this regressive tax shift.
Emma Dann of 16 Orchard Street spoke on the proposed zone change at 5 Griffin Road. She
voiced her concerns with the proposed zone change and urged the Council not support the
amendment.

Mike Wallace of 25 Carriage Way spoke of his concerns regarding the proposed zone change
and was very concern with what the plan it; the traffic issues and the crime rate. What is lower
income housing – would like to know what this is.
Steve Osborn of 3 Carriage Way spoke against the proposed zone change and to take away
from others for just one individual is not right. He voiced his concerns regarding the traffic
issues. Asked if this proposal is part of the Impact Fee.
Ms. Frank of 3 Griffin Road spoke against the proposed development and was concerned about
the traffic issues. She felt that single family homes would be more equitable to what currently
in the neighborhood.
Corey Fogerty of 2 Surrey Lane spoke against the proposed zone change – this would change
the fabric of the neighborhood.
A resident spoke in support of the proposed resolve and asked the Council to bring this forward
at the next Town Council meeting.
Jane Leng of 11 Abigail Way, also supported the proposed resolve to ask our Legislative
Delegation to hear to the voice of the people and reject the Governor’s Budget.
