Redding residents have approved a $48.2 million budget on a vote of 659 to 237. First Selectman Julia Pemberton says town officials faced a daunting task of putting together a budget based on unknown state funding.
Pemberton says it's still not known if municipalities would be forced to pay a third of teacher pension costs, currently covered entirely by the state.
The Region 9 school budget passed in both Easton (473-202) and Redding (654-242).
