Impact analysis
No immediate tax change; the override preserves flexibility if the 2027 budget requires exceeding the cap.
Potentially all town services if the budget needs flexibility; taxpayers get a say at the hearing.
Taxpayers could face a larger levy increase if the override is ultimately used.
