Berkley voters overwhelmingly rejected a Proposition 2 1/2 override. The measure failed by a nearly five-to-one margin. This outcome triggers position eliminations across multiple town departments. Layoffs will impact schools, police, fire, highway, and Town Hall. Seven teachers and several other employees are among those affected.
