A public hearing is being held in Bethel tonight on the proposed budget for the coming fiscal year.  The hearing is set for 7pm in the Bethel Middle School Auditorium.  The Bethel Board of Finance approved an approximate $85.5 million tax and spending plan.  There's $34.3 million proposed on the municipal side and $51.2 million on the school side.  If approved, the mill rate would be 34.64, a .38 mill increase, resulting in a 1.1 percent increase in taxes.  The main budget drivers are personnel and road paving.  The Board of Finance will then consider comments from the hearing and make any final changes.
