Brookfield residents are at the polls today to vote on a budget for the coming fiscal year.  The proposed $38.5 million  education budget and the $21.9 million municipal budget will be separate votes, but both need to pass or it will go to a second referendum. 

There was a contentious town meeting about the budget with an argument breaking out in the lobby and police arriving.  Much of the disagreement at the meeting was over what residents saw as too little funding for the schools. 

Also on the agenda last night were two capital items; a little more than $1 million for equipment and projects around town and also nearly $2.5 million for the Still River Greenway project. 

Both the High School and Huckleberry Hill Elementary School polls are open until 8pm.
