BATH — A group opposed to tax breaks for Bath Iron Works says it will be at the Bath Middle School cafeteria polling place Aug. 27 in the special election to replace state Sen. Seth Goodall, DRichmond.
The group ask voters to sign a petition calling on the Bath City Council to reject the tax-increment financing proposal currently being considered by the City Council.
The group, headed by Bruce Gagnon, a local peace activist, said past BIW TIFs have not resulted in more jobs for Bath.
“We prefer our local resources be used for public education, road repair, and other local needs,” the petition reads, in part.
