This Tax Is
Forever.
The 33.4% override on tomorrow's ballot never expires and grows 2.5% every year — automatically, forever, without another vote.

Diamonds are forever.
So is this tax.

They Can't Even Fix Their Own Website.
The town's own website is broken. Residents trying to find basic public information cannot access it.
They couldn't even bother to put Election Day on the town calendar. But the very next day? The Retirement Board Meeting is right there — marked and ready.
The very first item on their agenda for June 10th — the day after you vote on a permanent tax increase — is a vote to increase their own cost-of-living adjustment. Your taxes go up forever. Their benefits go up the next morning.
Their own town calendar: no mention of Election Day (June 9), but the Retirement Board Meeting — with a COLA vote as its first agenda item — is right on time June 10th.

Your Family Budget Is Not Infinite.
This override takes money that could be groceries, prescriptions, your child's activities, your emergency fund — and locks it in as a tax payment that grows every year forever.
You have no automatic raise coming. This override does.

Fix the Waste First
Before asking taxpayers for a permanent, ever-growing tax increase, the administration needs to prove it has cleaned its own house.
Administrative spending has grown. Enrollment has dropped nearly 1,000 students in the past 10 years. Results have not improved. The money is going somewhere — and voters deserve to know where before writing a forever check.

No Independent Audit. Ever.
If you manage money well, you welcome scrutiny. An independent audit of administrative spending has not been conducted or offered.
They want more of your money. They will not open their books. That alone should be enough to vote No.
♦
No audit before the override.
That's your answer right there.
"Charity begins at home. Fix the waste. Open the books. Then ask for more."
♦
You can't vote yourself a 33.4% raise
that increases 2.5% forever.
But this override does exactly that — to your tax bill.

Vote NO
Demand accountability before a permanent, forever-escalating override.
Forever is a very long time
