Override 101

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

What’s all this about an override? What does it mean to me, and to our
town? Here are some basics:

– Every year, Hanover’s budgetary spending increases. Employees get
raises, costs to do business go up, health insurance prices increase, etc.
Proposition 2 1/2 keeps that spending limited to a 2.5% increase plus the
value of any new growth in town. Some years, our costs go up more than
Prop 2 1/2 plus new growth allows. Last year was one of those years. This
year is also one of those years, because last year’s override attempt
failed.

– How much will it cost me? Go to the property tax calculator here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=a5b8H7rO/quBewrGewIv9EZP/d7BaAZbg1c/Yap0rsFoqLt7nDNoRqoN783ZLADJ

– What positions in town will be restored or cut if the override passes or
if it fails? What are the long-term budget forecasts for both scenarios?
Check out this handout from Monday’s budget presentation for details:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=6X/nDAtebGexNVQCrezOX0ZP/d7BaGZbg1c/Yap0rsFoqLt7nDO4RqoN783ZLADJ

– How do I vote for or against the override? Vote twice – at Town Meeting
(begins in person only on May 5th), and at the Town Election (Vote by Mail
or absentee if you qualify, or in person) on May 17th. Check this page:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=AVY3XvSSDKyAWEM5S8howEZP/d7BaFZbg1c/Yap0rsFoqLt7nDPoRqoN783ZLADJ
or the ATOTW archives or future e-blasts for more information about these
options.

– Have questions still? Go to this page
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=6crhMqRVOp245diVfVLy8EZP/d7BaBZbg1c/Yap0rsFoqLt7nDOIRqoN783ZLADJ
or stop by Town Hall this week. Happy to translate into what matters to
you most. :)

Annual Town Meeting 2025

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” Hanover’s Annual Town Meeting
2025 begins next Monday, May 5th, 2025! Here are the highlights that you
need to know before you go:

– The Special Town Meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. at Hanover High School, 287
Cedar Street.
– Check in will start via the front doors at 6:00 p.m. The back doors to
HHS will be locked. Come early if you want to park near the front doors
and have a shorter distance to walk. Please carpool as parking will be
limited.
– If you would like to bring your kids, childcare will be provided
beginning at 6:30 p.m. Here is the link to register them:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=pelWWOJHEM2FAxInfnV6kvWd1fn7DzsWjVZ/ptALQDFoqLt7nDM4RqoN783ZLADJ

– The Annual Town Meeting starts at 7:30 p.m., also at the high school.
– There is no absentee voting for Town Meeting. Registered voters may only
vote in person.
– Last year there were lines to check in. Plan to wait if you come close
to 7:00-7:30 p.m. And, come earlier. :)

This is what will be discussed, along with the Advisory Committee
recommendations:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=y3bfbqU9coSdswyITf4X4PWd1fn7DwsWjVZ/ptALQDFoqLt7nDN4RqoN783ZLADJ

Student groups will be on-site selling snacks and tickets to the Memorial
Day Pancake Breakfast. Bring cash and plan to snack in the cafe, not in
Town Meeting.

If Town Meeting goes a second night, it will likely continue to Tuesday,
May 6th, but those in attendance at the end of the night will make that
decision. Remember that any decisions made Monday night may be
reconsidered the second night.

See you next week! :)
