The Connecticut League of Women Voters has a “primer” on the ballot question with links to articles from the organization’s Home page. The Hartford Courant also has a “primer,” which is this article about the ballot question.

“Shall the appropriation and general obligation bond issuance authorization of $21,000,000 for the construction of a new Town of Berlin Police Station, as adopted by the Town Council, be approved?”
