APT Meeting 7pm March 17, Portsmouth Public Library  
Written by Administrator  
Monday, 01 March 2010
The next meeting of the Association of Portsmouth Taxpayers will be held 7pm Wednesday, March 17th at the Portsmouth Public Library, Hilton Garden Inn meeting room. We will be coordinating the department budgets for our presentation at the city budget hearing. We need all the member support we can muster to let the council know that they must keep this budget down.

Due to the time involved with working with these budgets we may call for a few more meetings prior to the April hearing and will keep you posted to the time, date and locations of these extra meetings.
