MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Voters in many Vermont communities will be deciding issues large and small over the next several days during their annual Town Meeting Day votes.
The traditional day for Town Meeting is the first Tuesday in March, but over the years it has evolved so some communities will be meeting over the weekend while others will vote on Monday night. A few will wait until later this year.
Voters will be deciding town and school budgets, electing officials and deciding issues such as whether to buy a new piece of road equipment or appropriate small sums of money for local social organizations.
Last year, more than three dozen communities rejected school spending plans. The votes were widely seen as a symptom of unhappiness with how expensive Vermont schools have become.
