[MassHistPres] CPA Surcharge Reductions

[Craig Dalton]

Has anyone been involved with a town that has chosen to reduce its CPA
surcharge?  If so, were they successful? 

What were the reasons behind the attempt's success or defeat?

Kingston is facing a challenge to its 3% CPA surcharge at its upcoming town
meeting.  

Proposed by the town's Finance Committee, in an attempt to help pass a $1.3
million override, they have proposed reducing our current 3% CPA to 1%.

A group of citizens opposed to this reduction are looking for ways,
arguments, examples how to prevent this.

Should you have any ideas, or practical experiences, please let me know at

Thank you for your help.
