The TOWN ELECTION is Tuesday 3/23.

On the ballot is a Proposition 2 1/2 Override of $1.67m to support the schools, libraries, and town services.  This amount equates to a property tax increase for the *average* home in Amherst of $264/year ($190/year after taxes).

There is a campaign in support of the override.  You can go to their website for more information on the YES campaign and to support the override by getting a lawn sign (magically delivered straight to your home):  http://voteyesforamherst.org
