| I
guess we must be "unfriendly" and "divisive" if
we don't support the override. |

| From
reading some of these comments, we shouldn't be so
"divisive". We should remember that we are the
"friendly" town. And we should roll over and support ANY
and ALL tax increases. |

| Noting
the submitted comments. Actually Walpole is one of the lowest taxed
towns, particularly when compared to its household income. what
Walpole is is one of the lowest Towns in funding police, fire and
public works, and low in funding schools |

| the
town is the town. Breaking funding into separate baskets is poor
public policy |

| It
seems like every year we face a fiscal crisis in the town. We are
slowly becoming one of the highest taxed towns in the state. Perhaps
this is a question of poor town management. |

| I
don't think legally you can allocate an operating override. Legally,
operating overrides are for general town purposes. This is different
from capital overrides. |

| Catagories
unfortunately may cause people to vote only what is best for them
and not what is best for all residents. Like it or not, we are all
in this together. |

| Let's
budget normal operating expenses in the operating budget. Capital
items, such as stripping and leveling part of the town forest to
make fields that most of us won't be allowed to use should be
presented as an override. |

| The
override should be for capital projects, before we have an override
for operating expenses. Who doesn't want a functioning fire
department, police department and DPW? Yet that is what we are
supposedly being asked in the override. |

| No,
this would make the town even more divisive. |

| While
public safety should receive priority over education, it would be a
huge mistake to have a menu approach to overrides. In the long run,
they are all equally important. Remember, children cannot vote. |

| Stop
the division. This should not be a vote on whether you have school
aged chilldren or live next to the fire station. We all must come
together and help each other or Walpole will lose the pride it
deserves. |

| Beaking
up the override into categories will only further divide the
community. The override issues are the issues of the community and
should be solved as a community without pitting fire vs police vs
schools, etc. |
