Bethel residents are at the polls today to vote on a $67-million budget. The $26-million municipal budget proposal and $40.9 million school plan will be on the ballot along with a question about capital improvement spending. First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker says school security was taken into account.
Funding was added back in for 7 non-profit agencies including Meals on Wheels, WeCahr and Ability Beyond Disability.
The budget represents a 2.9 percent spending increase. Bethel Action Committee Founder Billy Michael believes spending is too high.
Polls are open until 8pm.
