Board of Finance votes on budget
Last night, the Board of Finance took a preliminary vote to reduce the Board of Education’s budget by $225,000. Before the successful 4-3 vote the Board unsuccessfully voted 3-4 to cut the budget by $250,000 and 3-4 to cut the budget by $200,000. Before the vote, there was considerable discussion about moving $60,000 of the Board of Education’s budget to a town contingency fund. Board of Education Vice Chair Kim Westcott spoke against the proposal and the BoF voted it down 4-3. The Board of Finance will cast its final vote on the budget this Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall.
