Here is the wording of the questions as I believe they were approved at the 3/8 Board of Selectmen meeting:
Question 1:
Shall the Town of Dracut be allowed to assess an additional $560,000 in real estate and personal property taxes for the purpose of supplementing the Town operating budget to hire six police officers and three fire fighters for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016.
Question 2:
Should the Town of Dracut be allowed to assess an additional $550,000 in real estate and personal property taxes for the purpose of funding for the Dracut Public Schools for technology upgrades which include installation of a wireless network, fiber optics, voice over internet communications and hardware for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016.
This is incorrect! This is not how the questions were read in and voted at the selectman’s meeting.
I checked into it, the questions are being entered into the record as they were written. I understand there will be an update soon anyways as the wording was not quite right (as one had a shall and the other a should.. something like that).
