Board of Civil Authority denies tax abatement request
The Board of Civil Authority in Newport Center met Thursday, July 16, 2026, at the Town Clerk’s Office and voted to deny a request to abate "all taxes, charges, fees, and interest." The meeting was called to order at 5:30 p.m.; Bob Hilliker made the motion to deny the abatement and Steve Edgerly seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote and the board adjourned at 5:50 p.m.

Before the vote the board read and discussed an email from Karah Jasch, which was entered into the record; the transcript does not specify the contents of that email. No roll-call tally was recorded in the minutes provided—only that the motion "passed on a voice vote." No further action or follow-up timeline was specified in the meeting record.
