Please Vote to Limit Taxes
While Tiverton is our beautiful home, the growing realization by residents that they will not be able to afford the taxes to live in Tiverton, now or in retirement, is both saddening and unnecessary. “Quality of Life” in Tiverton is negatively affected by high taxes and calling Tiverton home is [...]
