The following Boston Globe article represents the recent experience in Duxbury at attempts to pass a Prop 2 1/2 override. You will note that the portion that passed was the Capital Exclusion:
Duxbury voters reject one override, pass two others
.
Duxbury voters on Saturday defeated a $1 million tax override to fund design studies for the renovation or reconstruction of the town's police station and fire stations.
.Two other tax increase measures on Saturday's ballot passed, including a $616,774 override for new equipment for town schools and other departments, such as textbooks, technology upgrades, and new vehicles. The measure was a capital exclusion tax override, meaning that the increased spending will be added to the tax levy for one year only. The projected tax increase from the new equipment is expected to add $108 to the average homeowner tax bill of $641,300, according to finance director John Madden. BostonGlobe
