🚨WILTON VOTERS DESERVE ANSWERS ON SUPERVISOR STURM’S TAX COMMENTS 🚨
Wilton Town Supervisor Toni Sturm is facing new scrutiny after comments made to NEWS10 following the recent tornado damage in Wilton.
Sturm told the outlet that the town is struggling to fund debris cleanup because Wilton doesn't collect property taxes and largely relies on Saratoga County — comments that insinuate the need for a new town tax on Wilton residents.
This comes as Wilton sits on an unallocated fund balance of nearly $20 million — reserves that former Town Councilman John McEachron, currently running for supervisor in Wilton, says were built specifically to help residents in moments like this. Rather than drawing on those reserves, Sturm has instead gone to the county asking for help covering storm cleanup costs.
Wilton residents should ask why a supervisor sitting on a nearly $20 million surplus is talking about new taxes instead of using the resources the town already has. Saratoga County families are already stretched thin — they don't need a new town tax on top of it.
