Few BF voters turn out, but approve budget

BELLOWS FALLS — Voters approved a $1.6 million village budget in balloting on Tuesday.
But the participation was stunningly low, with less than 5 percent turnout.
Only 79 people cast ballots, with the only draw being the budget since there were no contested races. The budget passed 56-22. There are about 3,300 residents of the village, with 1,922 registered voters, according to Village Clerk Kathleen Neathawk.
Winning reelection in the uncontested races were Village President Deborah Wright and Village Trustees James “Jiggs” McAuliffe and Stefan Golec.
Tuesday’s turnout was in stark contract to last year, when there were seven candidates for two trustee positions, and more than 300 people voted.
