I recently interviewed long-time town resident Charlie Kadlec for our series on Acton's property taxes. Charlie has been a mainstay in the "anti-tax" movement, working in the past against several proposed property tax overrides and routinely speaking out at Town Meetings against what he sees as unnecessary spending.
