Newton mayor urges support for tax increases

Newton’s mayor, Setti ­Warren, used his State of the City address Monday to rally support for his $11.4 million tax proposal, five weeks ahead of the vote on March 12.

In the fourth and final ­address of his first term, ­Warren urged residents to vote in favor of the Proposition 2½ override package to pay for new schools and buildings, ­upgrade roads, and hire more teachers.

Newton taxpayers had to pay $197 MILLION for the reconstruction of Newton North High School in 2009. Did Setti Warren and the Globe mention that?

He wants more money? You Democrats really don't get it do you?
