Prop 2½ override coming to Somerville this November?
I received a telephone survey this afternoon regarding a potential ballot question this fall that would raise property taxes to pay for the new Somerville High School. This is the first I'd heard that a so-called "Prop 2½ override" was being considered, which, I believe, would be the first such vote in Somerville's history. Does anyone have more information about this?

I suspect that's largely due to the intricacies of municipal finance that I do not thoroughly understand. The need to vote on property tax increases comes from a law passed by the voters in the early 80s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposition_2%C2%BD
