Mosquito Control

Click HERE for direct link to the text of Town Warrant Article (revised at Town Deliberative Session Feb. 6, 2010).

This article raises and appropriates $54,075 for the purpose of monitoring and controlling mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus and EEE, primarily by larvicide and limited emergency fall spraying of public assembly areas. Same amount as last year. A variable-amount state grant (2009: $1,962) may reduce tax impact.

A YES VOTE funds the mosquito control program in Raymond.
A NO VOTE would eliminate the mosquito control program in Raymond.

Pro:

• Reduces risk of West Nile Virus and EEE infection.

Con:

• Tax cost: .054 cents per $1,000 of tax valuation. (2)
