The Newtown budget referendum is being held on Tuesday. There will be a single polling place for the $111-million budget.
This is the first time that Newtown residents will be voting on separate school and municipal budget allocations and also a guidance question, if the funding is too low. The proposed municipal budget is about $39-million while town officials are asking for $72-million in school spending.
It's a 4.7 percent increase in overall spending.
The referendum Tuesday at Newtown Middle School is from 6am to 8pm.
