Bethel Board of Finance approves budget

The Bethel Board of Finance has signed off on a budget for the coming fiscal year in a 4 to 2 vote, with one abstention.  The combined $79.8 million plan will raise taxes .98 percent.  Some members see the plan as a compromise in an unusual year, when the Governor's executive order authorized the Board to be the voting body, bypassing the town meeting form of government Bethel residents are used to.  Member Cynthia McCorkindale abstained, calling the vote “illegal.” She filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice arguing that voting rights are being violated because a referendum was prevented from taking place during the public health emergency.
