Brookfield residents reject budget proposal again

Brookfield residents have rejected the proposed budget for the coming fiscal year.  The $42.9 million school plan was rejected by about 300 votes while the $24.1 million municipal budget failed by about 100 ballots.  Both advisory questions were marked as "too high."  An earlier plan, which was about $400,000 more, was rejected on the day of the macroburst.  The Brookfield Board of Finance is meeting tonight to go over the budget results.  They will reconsider budget appropriations to send to residents June 12th.  Despite nearly flat spending on the town side, taxes would have gone up about 4-point-6 percent because of state education funding cuts and a rise in special education costs.  There will also be discussion tonight of the capital improvement plan for the coming fiscal year.
