Check out Kathy McCabe's play by play that appeared in Sunday's Globe North. "The new fiscal year brings the same old money woes for Saugus. The town can't raise enough through property taxes to cover its expenses. The state Department of Revenue has taken note, saying it will intervene if the town doesn't improve its bottom line. "We don't have a spending problem," said Town Manager Andrew R. Bisignani. "We have a revenue problem." Voters rejected a $5.2 million property tax increase in April. Town Meeting voted down a controversial trash fee, which could have raised almost $1 million in new revenue. The result is steep spending cuts and sharply reduced services for the 26,000 residents of this town straddling Route 1." Posted by David Dahl, Regional Editor at 09:01 AM
