As a seven-year member of the Shrewsbury Finance Committee, I support the $9.5 million operational override question on the May 4 ballot as the fiscally responsible decision. Our town leaders have worked hard to remedy the structural deficit that has challenged our community for many years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and corresponding economic fall-out have exacerbated our fiscally tenuous situation, with revenue shortfalls and higher costs leaving a gap that can only be closed with passage of an override or substantial cuts to services, most keenly impacting students. Please join me in voting yes on May 4.
State Rep. Hannah Kane, Shrewsbury
