No override since '84--wow!

Ah, Haverhill! Two of my uncles, including the one I was named for, were Haverhill firefighters (both passed on in the 70s).
How many people out there know that Haverhill was the inspiration for Riverdale in Archie comics? Archie creator
Bob Montana was from that city, and to this day the Haverhill
edition of the Eagle-Tribune bills the strip as "Haverhill's
Archie".

It is interesting to watch, the last time they tried was in 2002, special election. The vote in the regular election in my Precinct was one of the largest I have ever seen, over a thousand, twice normal +/-.

The City wide vote on the override was around 6500 of which the proponents got about 2500, a very small turn out, youth and exuberance does not beat old age and an increased property tax bill.
