Re: Taxes

Definitely voting no on the override. But can we as a community stop acting like we pay high taxes. We’re closer to Saugus then we are Winchester. Just remember that.

Re: Taxes


Maybe the reason we pay taxes closer to Saugus than to Winchester is because Melrose is more like Saugus than Winchester. If you can afford better communities and their taxes then move there. Lynnfield has Dolan, too.

How can you say we are more like Saugus, a city with a massive commercial tax base to take pressure off the residential taxes? That's just a flawed argument.

Re: Taxes

How can we say teachers need an increase when they made almost 30k more than privte sector ecomplyees and also get 84% coverage for their insurance. Be thankful and open your eyes to the truth.



It is not about high taxes it is about what the people can afford, maybe your are in the 1% but I wonder will you neglect the 99% that have to work extra to make ends meet? Sorry I am on a fixed budget....
