The Bethel Board of Finance has trimmed the proposed budget for the coming fiscal year.  After hearing some concerns at the public hearing earlier this week, the Board cut $119,000 from the municipal portion of the plan.  The money is coming from proposed allocations for legal fees, the library, police salaries and other items.  Overall, 250-thousand dollars was cut from the schools original proposal.  The budget still includes a spending increase of nearly 5 percent, with a proposed tax hike of 2.2 percent.  The $78.3 million budget will go to a town meeting on April 1st.
