Selectmen urge residents to follow budget workshops as town review begins
Summary
First Selectman Nick told residents that Thompson's budget workshops — including the Board of Education's — are underway and urged public review and participation through March via the town website and social media.
First Selectman Nick told residents that Thompson’s budget workshops are under way and urged the public to follow updates online and attend review sessions. “Please be informed. Please be a part of the process,” he said, noting the workshops run through March.
The board emphasized that the budget process gives residents multiple opportunities to learn how town funds are allocated and to ask questions of departments and school officials. Nick said many citizens ask “where’s all the money go,” and he stressed that every cent in the budget supports town services.
Selectmen said the Board of Education held its first workshop the previous evening and encouraged voters to monitor the town’s social media channels and website for schedules and documents. No formal vote on a budget occurred at the meeting; the comment period and workshops are intended to precede any referendum or formal adoption.
The board concluded the segment by reminding residents that outreach and transparency are priorities during the multi-week budget review and inviting questions at upcoming public sessions.
