For information sake. There are more "No" than "Yes". The reasons for and against each vote vary. Shrewsbury for example, failed to pass their override which would have put $3 million of the $5 million total into their "savings" or "rainy day" fund.

Franklin passed what is currently the 3rd largest override but that still doesn't provide for level services compared to what Franklin received last year.
