Colchester sends budget back to voters with minor adjustments

COLCHESTER ー Residents who narrowly rejected the town’s proposed budget in June headed back to the polls Tuesday to consider a new, $15.7 million proposal that features minor cuts and a smaller tax increase.
Both Colchester and neighboring East Haddam are seeking delayed approval for operating budgets for the fiscal year that began July 1, after their initial referendums failed last month.
The vote will not include the question of $48.1 million in school funding. Voters approved the Board of Education budget by a margin of three votes during the June referendum, so that portion of the town’s budget was left unchanged.
