Natick Elections: Override Passes, Incumbents Retain Seats

NATICK, MA — Unofficial election results from Tuesday's annual town election showed that just over 60 percent of voters are in support of Natick's $7 million budget override proposal.

It's a win for city officials, who spent months hosting public forums and sharing a steady stream on information online in the hopes that voters would check "yes" on Tuesday.

The hypothetical result is that the override will save town and city jobs, and keep costs for Natick Public Schools where they are now. To do so, Natick will raise the real estate tax by $7 million, an increase of $38 a month per household, officials said.

On the School Committee, incumbents Cathi Collins and Elise Gorseth won reelection while Jaymin Patel grabbed the third open seat.

The Select Board race also saw incumbents take the win, with Kathryn Coughlin and Bruce Evans defeating Kathryn Kelly.
