Ways to Become A Tax Fighter:  

You can help us hold elected officials accountable for their fiscal decisions.

Here's how:

1) Show Up.

  • Attend meetings of Concerned Taxpayers of Manchester - We meet each month to discuss how we can be better watchdogs for the taxpayers of Manchester

2) Speak out.

  • Write letters to the Union Leader and Hippo Press about what concerns you about taxing and spending
  • Make your voice heard at meetings of Manchester's Board of Mayor and Aldermen and Board of School Committee during "public comment time"
  • Call your elected representatives or drop them a note saying you want them to be fiscally responsible with your tax dollars

3) Get active.

  • Support candidates for office who think they way you do about taxes and spending - then hold the winners accountable
  • Participate actively in discussions about taxes and how they're raised and spent with friends and family
  • Be an active member of Concerned Taxpayers - but don't just grumble: ACT! Add your creative ideas to the ongoing discussion
  • Start a project to raise awareness of tax policy in Manchester. Seek out those who will help you and hold "Meetups," in local cafes or in online chats
