I supported the compromise the City Council struck in easing the restrictions on the French King overlay and the library. Unfortunately, someone didn’t, and they followed the process and got the library on the November ballot but not so with the French King overlay.
However, I as a voter in Greenfield intend to honor that compromise by voting for a new library (and fire station if necessary) save one caveat. If the City Council decides to put the French King overlay question in any form, on the November ballot, I will vote no for the library. And I urge my fellow voters to do the same.
While I support the library and new fire station I also feel we need help in paying for it through tax base growth and the French King overlay, in my opinion, would help serve that end.
