Vote Yes on Newbury override

Anonymous Newburyport Daily News The Daily News of Newburyport Mon Oct 29, 2012, 03:00 AM EDT

To the editor:

This is not about politics. This is not about money. This is about keeping Newbury a safe and beautiful place to live.

We are a nonpartisan group of concerned citizens of Newbury. We want to do what is best for the safety, well-being and happiness of our town as a whole. That is why we are standing behind the proposed tax override.

The proposed tax override of $293,000 for the town of Newbury is necessary to restore critical town

services such as police coverage and fire wages. This override increase averages out to an increase of $82

on the average $400K home in Newbury. We are asking you to please stand with us when you vote on Nov. 6. Vote yes to pass the tax override. Thank you.

Please search online for “Newbury Override Yes” or visit our web site for more information: http://newburyoverrideyes.wordpress.com/

COW plan far from being dead in the water

To the editor: When I read David Strand's letter (May 6) concerning the Committee for an Open Waterfront's presentation, I, too, was at a loss on the best way to respond to what I perceived as a letter written by someone who already seemed to have hi
