NK taxpayers see the "value" in educating our children and giving them extracurricular opportunities, along with maintaining roads and dams, providing services for senior citizens, and providing public safety.
Keeping those priorities in mind, we cannot afford to "waste" taxpayers' dollars, particularly during this period of budget crisis at both the state and local level and while people are being taxed out of their homes.
NK taxpayers are looking for accountability, transparency and fairness.

About Us
The North Kingstown Taxpayers Organization (NKTO) was originally founded in the 1970’s. With the substantial rise in property taxes in the late 1990’s and after 5 years of local budget increases that averaged over 8% per year and more recently the financial irregularities involving school funds, the group has become more active.
The NKTO works constantly to insure that all taxpayers’ money is spent wisely and we additionally seek to prevent waste and insure open, clear and readable budgets. We hold regular candidate forums to make all voters aware of candidate positions and beliefs that ultimately affect the quality of life in North Kingstown.
