Duxbury Officials Propose Override

by | Dec 13, 2024 | News

Duxbury officials will be looking at a tax override in the spring to bridge a budget gap they say would result in the layoff of nearly forty town employees.

About seventy residents and officials gathered for the select board meeting last night (Monday) where town department heads outlined the impact the current budget deficit would have on their departments.

Town Manager Rene Read explains.

 

Police Chief Mike Carbone tells WATD News his understaffed department can’t afford the potential loss of two police officers.

 

Fire Chief Rob Reardon says his department could lose two firefighter/paramedics.

 

School Superintendent Danlelle Klingaman explains the impact teacher layoffs would have.

 

Duxbury officials say that increasing expenses and the expiration of federal and state Covid grants have resulted in a budget deficit.
