Vote YES June 3 - Not All Taxes Are the Same

I don't like taxes, but think about it: 

- the override is not an increase in federal tax that will go to Alaska or Texas or foreign countries;

-the override is not an increase in Commonwealth taxation that will go even to Boston or Springfield;

-the override affects a purely local tax. The revenue will go right back into our town to educate, protect, and serve Shrewsbury residents.  It will help pay Shrewsbury salaries, and will be spent here in town. As far as taxes go, it doesn't get any more efficient or local than this.

I refuse to lump local taxation in with generic state and federal "taxes." This is a vote about OUR community and the future of OUR town, not about taxes in general.

That is why i am voting YES on June 3. Please join me.

Thanks!

Dan Flynn
