By MyFM’s Claire Beverly – Bellingham is looking at a potential tax override to staff up the town’s emergency response and they are holding some information sessions to explain. Fire Chief William Miller says in June they will be asking town voters for a $750,000 override to add six paramedics to meet the Town’s increasing demand for services given the population growth in the town over the last ten years. There’s one information session tomorrow from 10am to Noon at Town Hall and another on Saturday, May 18 from 10am to Noon at the Bellingham Fire Department on Blackstone Street.
