Much of the talk in Melrose of late has centered on the upcoming tax override vote, with each side of the debate making their presence known and stating their respective cases to all who will listen.
The is fake news. Quinnipiac would not be involved in polling for a local override. No one cares outside of Melrose. The only thing we know for sure is that in the last override 5k Melrosians voted against the override 3 years ago. I think everyone in this city knows the city’s override playbook; pretend doomsday will come if override is not approved and manufacture a crisis and state the kids will suffer. The problem is the city’s strategy is so transparent and is contradicted by third parties. As a result,the majority of the people do not believe the propaganda coming from city hall.
