The Board increased all the items that were told were going up by the Town Manager that we have no control over (minimum wage, health insurance, Fica/Medicare, unemployment insurance, workers comp, property insurance) the only other item we increased was $500 for our book budget since last year, the Selectboard said to make a gradual increase until we were back to the $6,000 yearly total. We will not have much of a cushion in this budget if other items increase ( heat, electric, phone, etc.) but the Board felt that it was the only way to remain within a reasonable budget for the taxpayers.
