Ron, it's funny you should mention that. Bill Widmer as well as the other council members did promise to fully or at least partially abate the parcel tax if the town had a surplus. But now, Widmer is staying silent on this issue. So are the other council members who made this promise, but he's up for re-election, so the spotlight is going to stay on him.
