Georgetown doesn't say yes, but ...
Responding to a request from the town Finance Committee, the Board of Selectmen has added three so-called placeholders on the warrant for Town Meeting that leave open the option of a tax override for the fiscal year 2009 budget.
The first placeholder is for a general override to address potential school budget issues. The second is for a debt exclusion for purchase of needed equipment or other durable supplies. The third provides for the possibility of a capital improvement fund.
At this time, potential dollar amounts are undetermined, and the placeholders may be withdrawn before Town Meeting in May, according to Selectman Lonnie Brennan.
Voters turned down a $1.1 million override by a margin so narrow it prompted a recount last spring.
