Town budget

$351,436; $16,680, or 5 percent, more than the $334,756 budget this year.

The majority of the proposed increase stems from a new $9,000 line item for refurbishment of the town green and a $15,000 increase in repair and maintenance at the library, which increased from $5,000 to $20,000.



Highway budget

$394,245, $15,459, or 4.1 percent, more than the present budget of $378,786.

Most of the proposed increase is contained in the buildings and grounds portion of the budget, which pays for an additional $7,700 worth of fuel.



School budget

$1,655,695 budget for the Pawlet Town School District. The proposed budget represents a $93,768, or 5.4 percent, decrease from this year’s $1,749,463 budget.

Most of the reduction is attributable to a $69,033 drop in spending for secondary education programming and a $74,412 drop in special education spending.



Contested races

There are no contested races in Pawlet this year.
