This document consists of two letters from Stamford residents to city officials opposing proposed property tax increases, dated April 15, 2020. Andy Dimitri reports that his property taxes have increased 25% since moving to Stamford in late 2013 and urges the city to reduce expenses rather than raise revenues, warning that continued increases will accelerate population loss from Connecticut. A second correspondent similarly calls for reducing the mill rate, arguing that residents are already financially stressed due to business closures and job losses during the economic crisis, and requesting that the city reduce expenditures to match the fiscal constraints residents are facing.
