With all of the misinformation out there....one thing is for certain. More money taken out of the pockets of all property owners in Melrose will not solve the so called problems in Melrose. Taymore will still be a horrible administrator who has created a toxic working environment in Melrose schools. Melrose will continue to hire sub standard teachers, but at a higher pay rate. Teachers will still leave for better districts with better working environments, better pay, better benefits (like any other employee). Future incompetent mayors will still scream that they don\'t have enough money. There will be higher water rates, higher sports fees, higher everything else.
Still 2 NO votes here....
I'm confused. If you hate everything so much, and have such a pessimistic view for the future, why do you want to stay?
For the record, I'm not saying you should leave. I'm just curious why, if Melrose is such a nightmare, you would want to live here?
Why do I stay in a town that I have lived in for over 20 years? Just because I have a different opinion? My reasons for staying in this town are mine alone, and I would not discuss them on a public forum with a complete stranger.
I have been in this town long enough to see at least 2 override attempts crash and burn. Guess what? The city survived and prospered. When this override is defeated, I suspect the city will still survive and prosper.
