Who We Are

We are an independent, non-partisan, non-profit organization composed of taxpayers living or doing business in the city of Manchester, New Hampshire. All are welcome to join: Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and others.

We are dedicated to being an advocate for taxpayers - who want to keep taxes low and the tax rate stable.

We work to promote Yankee Frugality in city government as a way of easing the tax burden on city taxpayers.

We believe the only "special interest" in government should be the taxpayers from whom government draws its resources.

We are the fiscal watchdogs of city government and aggressively resist unwarranted taxes in the form of overpriced public works projects and other ill-advised public expenditures. We challenge city government to be accessible, responsive, efficient and fair.

We will provide criticism when warranted, praise when earned, and constructive recommendations whenever possible and prudent.

Mission of the CTM

1. To Ensure that our taxes and all other city income is:

  • Used in an efficient manner
  • Kept at an affordable level
  • Used to provide quality services

2. To Hold all city officials accountable to the taxpayers

Goals of the CTM

  • We will work to promote a healthy tax climate for both individuals and businesses.
  • We will hold Manchester's elected officials "feet to the fire" and remind them who they work for and who pays the city's bills.
  • We will offer creative and cost-effective ways to reduce government spending.
  • We will work for accountable, efficient and solvent government.
