As the well-to-do suburb faces deep cuts to education and other services, residents are heading to the polls to decide whether or not to approve the biggest property tax override in town history.
The absurdity of it all is that Milton is not at all poor. Last year the median sale price of a single-family home in Milton was $1 million, and the median household income is nearly $180,000 a year. Yet Milton is facing a double whammy of money woes: Mid-year school budget cuts and the prospect of higher property taxes with residents heading to the polls Tuesday to vote on a $9.5 million tax override aimed at avoiding deep reductions to education and other town services next year.
