Will We Override? The Hingham 'Cast
-
- News Commentary
Residents are being asked whether or not we should override Prop 2 and half with a 7.9 million dollar override and permanently raise our property taxes so that we can maintain current services and fund different investments and needs.
Without an override, we’d be about six million dollars short. We would have to cut services and lay off 19 municipal employees and 46 positions in our schools. Both the Select Board and the Advisory Committee were unanimous in voting in favor of passing the override. Why?
My guests are Select Board Chair Bill Ramsey, School Committee Chair Michelle Ayer and George Danis, Chair of Hingham’s Advisory Committee.
