BELMONT — A group of Belmont citizens announced the formation of a grassroots
campaign to oppose the town’s request for a proposition 2 ½ override. The effort, No Override
Belmont, will educate the voters of Belmont on the impact of the proposed $8.4 million override
which will permanently increase their property tax bill. The No Override Committee urges a no
vote on the measure in the town election on Tuesday, April 2.

“The voters of Belmont have generously stepped-up time and again in recent years—$370
million in debt exclusion to fund a new high school-middle school, a new library, and a new ice
rink. But this override, an additional $8.4 million, is simply too much to ask from citizens,” said
Wayne Wild, Chairman of No Override. “Like each and every resident in Belmont, the town
must operate within its means. We urge citizens to vote NO on the override.”

No Override Belmont has created a website, www.2much2ask.org, which provides voters with
insight into the impact of the override if it were to pass.

Belmontonians will vote on the override in the town elections on Tuesday, April 2.
