KILLINGLY — Voters on Tuesday will decide whether to approve recently modified 2021-22 budget proposals that carry a combined 0.5-mill increase. Residents at the first machine budget vote since the pandemic began rolling across the country last year will be presented with an $18.2 million general government spending plan and a Board of Education budget proposal that was bulked up earlier this month to $45 million after a town meeting vote. During the annual town meeting on May 3, resident Misty Crowley, a sixth-grade teacher and mother to two children in the district, motioned to add back the $661,787 previously removed by the Town Council from the school board budget.
