Bethel residents approve budget in referendum

With low voter turnout, Bethel residents have approved a budget for the coming fiscal year on the first try.  The  $34.2 million municipal budget was approved on a vote on 902 to 551.  About twice as many people said it was too high as said it was too low on the advisory question.  There is no option for saying the budget is adequate.  The $51.1 million Board of Education budget was approved on a vote of 872 to 581.  Again, more voters said it was too high than too low.  Turnout was about 14 percent.  The Board of Finance will meet to set the mill rate, which would increase by about .98 percent.
