A complaint against the Bethel Superintendent has been dismissed by the State Election Enforcement Commission.  The group ruled that language in Christine Carver's newsletter did not violate state statute by advocating for approval of the budget.  Tax watchdog group Bethel Action Committee claimed in the complaint that the newsletter used “laudatory language” in favor of the budget. The newsletter listed aspects of the town budget supporting the schools. State statute prevents local officials from influencing a referendum by using town funds or a community notification system.
