• Long-Range Planning Committee takes first steps (homenewshere.com) — Winchester's Long-Range Financial Planning Committee has revamped the town's financial model and is now weighing goals that could include recommending another tax override after last spring's failure. With November's ballot likely too soon, officials are eyeing a March election while the committee, with open-ended member terms, studies other towns' models and refines long-term fiscal strategies.
