And once again, there likely will be allegations of voter fraud - that is, of people casting ballots who are not eligible to do so.

No need to read between the lines; a glance at the densely-packed rows of figures reveals the truth of what most mayors and selectmen are telling us - cities and towns are up against if financially.
