NORWICH — Residents approved town and school spending plans, while also voting to give incumbent Selectboard member Mary Layton another three-year term in Australian ballot voting Tuesday.
Layton received 550 votes to defeat challenger Pamela Smith, who won 364 votes. Marcia Calloway ran unopposed for a two-year term on the board, and Neil Odell was uncontested for the School Board.
Residents voted, 699-221, to OK a $4.78 million municipal budget that officials say would result in an additional $303 in taxes for a $500,000 house.
Plans to spend $30,000 to join six Upper Valley communities that contribute to a regional energy coordinator position were approved as well.
