Prop 2½ override coming to Somerville this November?

[gruene.livejournal.com]

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?

Arlington had three project-specific ballot questions, all of which passed. I wonder whether in addition to the Somerville High School bonding exclusion there will be a second ballot question on the City's $50 million commitment to the Green Line Extension.

I've been wondering about this myself, Somerville's $50 million "commitment" for GLX.
