2024 Override Supporters
In January, Belmont's Select Board members – Chair Roy Epstein, Vice Chair Elizabeth Dionne and Mark Paolillo – voted unanimously to place an $8.4 million override before the voters on April 2, 2024. At a series of public meetings held throughout the fall and winter, each member of the board consistently expressed strong support for the override and the critical role it will play in securing Belmont's future. As Select Board Chair Roy Epstein has put it, "Without an override, Belmont will be changed permanently for the worse."
