In this installment, we look hard at Arlington’s long-term Financial Plan and its impact on the town budget, now and in the near future. Regular panelists Annie LaCourt and Walter Fey spar over whether and how to share the burden of future overrides between taxpayers and town employees, and they tackle the questions of how much we pay in personnel costs and what other sources we could, or already do, tap into for additional funding. The result is an impassioned discussion that is both spirited and informative.
