There are four candidates running for two seats on the select board, and there are also two Proposition 2½ override measures. Question 1 is a $1.7-million debt exclusion for a new water line to serve MacMillan Pier, and Question 2 is a $1,058,476 operating override to fund nine new employees in the town’s Fire and Emergency Services Dept.
There are spots on four other elected boards on the ballot this year — housing authority, school committee, board of library trustees, and charter compliance commission — but in none of those races are there more candidates than seats. No candidates filed for the charter compliance commission seat. —Paul Benson
