TOWN MEETING CASTS A WIDE NET ; VOTERS TO DECIDE ON TAX SURCHARGE
2006
Overview
Robert Allen, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, said early projections indicate a $3.3 million budget shortfall for the 2008 fiscal year. Brookline remains \"one of the best-run towns in the Commonwealth,\" Allen said. Even so, he added, \"We feel an underlying uneasiness.\" Nonetheless, Superintendent William H. Lupini reported, \"We've had staffing reductions at every building in the district.\" Especially disconcerting to Town Meeting members was the lack of provision in the budget for an elementary-level world language program or for a longer school day. Lupini said the \"current pie\" was too small to support those efforts. Member Linda Dean said, \"We will be raising taxes in one of the most difficult fiscal times,\" and \"our most vulnerable citizens\" will keenly feel the pinch of a new tax.
