I read about the NPS future budget dilemma. Any type of override is not the solution.
School leaders must reevaluate their spending demands and focus on the type of education system Newton can actually afford. Newton middle class residents can not continue to pay the present 3.5% increase in property taxes. These increase are too great to sustain as people retire. Young families are moving out due to the high cost of maintaining their homes. Any attempt to raise taxes through overrides is not the answer for anyone.
