T. Marsh presented the town's revenue picture to the Selectboard and Budget Committee, reporting that funding this year is approximately 80% property taxes and 20% outside revenue, a shift from a prior pattern of about 76% taxes and 23% outside revenue. Marsh identified reduced ambulance revenue as a contributing factor to the change.
