Councilor Comments
Whalen encourage to spread word, need to get the vote out
Vallee claims the Town Council has not sponsored the override
Zollo put the vote to the people, respect the vote of the people
regardless of the outcome, the voter turnout should be 80-90%
before voting, be informed, ask the right questions
Doak now it is up to the residents, everybody gets one vote
it is no secret that costs are rising faster than revenues
it is no one's fault, it is not that no one did their job
it costs more to provide quality services
why is the amount so high? we have been tapping the stabilization fund
we can no longer do that
Pfeffer does not support the override, but will not work against it
Nutting will refresh to elected officials the guidelines around their conduct during the election

motion to adjourn at 6:35
