Statewide Election Information
Ballot Question 1 
Important Election Information on Ballot Question 1 
 
On Election Day, you will be asked to vote on Question 1, a statewide ballot initiative calling to repeal the state income tax.  
 
If passed, this initiative would result in a 40% decrease in the state budget and consequently, a dramatic decrease in all state funding including our public schools.
 
The School Committee and PTO Council Board voted to support a "No" vote.
 
The PTO Council Board and the Newton League of Women Voters is sponsoring an event to educate voters about Ballot Question 1.

Sunday, October 19th from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. :  Newton League of Women Voters in partnership with Newton PTO Council will host a discussion forum at the home of Alderwoman Vicki Danberg 30 Chase Street Newton Centre.  Speakers include:  Senator Cynthia Creem and a representative from the City of Newton.
