Bethel residents send budget proposal to second referendum

Bethel residents have voted to send the revised municipal budget proposal to a referendum May 7th.  During the second annual town meeting, there was some opposition to the $31.6 million plan.  Several hundred thousand dollars in cuts were made to the proposal earlier this month, but some say the Board of Finance needed to go further.  Taxes would go up by 1.65 percent under the new proposal.  One resident called for a vote to set the referendum while others were still in line to speak.  The school and capital budgets were approved during the first referendum.
