Town Meeting

As Vermont towns begin to put together their fiscal year 2026 budgets, health insurance rates, inflation and a drop-off in federal COVID aid will cause a spike in spending, leading to higher taxes.

With Town Meeting just one month away, Democratic lawmakers announced a plan to rewrite the state’s education tax laws to induce at least some districts to go back to the drawing board and cut spending. If this proposal passes, some school budget votes will be postponed until later in the spring.

A mock town meeting at Woodbury Elementary School yields controversy and big field trip results.
