A recount in Redding shows that Tuesday budget vote still failed. There were just 3 votes more in opposition to the plan, compared to the 4 votes tabulated on the day of the referendum. The additional YES vote was found on an improperly marked ballot which was read by the optical scan machine as blank. The Redding Board of Selectmen will meet on Monday. The Redding Board of Ed will meet Tuesday and the Board of Finance will make revisions on Wednesday.
