The Newtown Legislative Council has met for a second time to reduce the budget.  $300,000 was cut last night from the education plan after it failed in a second referendum.  The municipal budget passed on the second try and was left as is. 

The town side is $38.9 million  while the education budget now stands at about $71 million.  It's a 3.93-percent increase over last year. 

The next referendum is set for June 4th.
