New Milford residents are at the polls today to vote on a budget.  The New Milford Board of Finance has added money to the proposed municipal spending plan.  The $38.1 million proposal includes $29,500 more than requested in order to send an additional $10,000 to the Candlewood Lake Authority, with the balance for capital items. 

The $61.2 million education request was unchanged by the Board of Finance.  The Board of Education added new programs to the coming school year as part of the John Pettitbone Elementary School closing plan.   The combined $99.3 million proposal represents a 1.7 percent increase in taxes.
