Weybridge Selectboard dives into budget; fire, recycling and sheriff contract highlighted

The Selectboard spent a substantial portion of its Jan. 6 meeting reviewing the town budget and debating which items should appear as separate warning articles and which should be included in the printed budget. Members noted long-standing items historically presented as individual articles'notably the fire department and recycling'and discussed the pros and cons of moving those appropriations into the consolidated budget. "I think it's important to think about if we're moving things in," the Chair said, urging transparency for voters about where each appropriation will appear.
