Ashland settles on $2 million override request
ASHLAND
Ashland Town Meeting voters will consider a roughly $2 million override on May 2 to reverse some of last year's budget cuts and fund a handful of new positions.
Town Manager John Petrin says the override would raise the average tax bill in the town by $342. If residents OK the override at Town Meeting, it will go before voters at a townwide election May 15.
Town officials had been mulling different figures, finally settling on a request of $1,998,111, with most of the money going to personnel, including three police dispatchers, four firefighters and four teachers.
