The Bethel Republican Town Committee has issued a statement about the Governor's Executive Order allowing local Boards of Finance to be the budget voting authority this year due to restrictions on gathering size.  The BRTC says the order to override the Town Charter infringes on the soul of the Town Meeting form of government at a time of great crisis for the community.  The party says an average increase of $70 per household may seem miniscule, but for many households who are now affected by unemployment, that is equal to paying next week’s food bill or next month's electric bill.  Chairman Bryan Terzian says it's best to wait until next year before considering any increase in Bethel’s tax mill rate.
