There were just 4 more votes in opposition to the Redding budget than supported the plan. The $14.7 million dollar municipal portion and $21.2 million for the Redding Board of Education was already revised down once, but still represented a 2.31 percent tax increase. Health insurance cost savings of $50,000 covered most of the previous cuts. The Region 9 school budget passed on the second try in Redding and Easton.
