MANCHESTER â Manchester voters approved everything including the budget, rail trail, a fire truck and the library funding.
Without a floor vote and everything being handled with Australian ballot, the Town Meeting Day produced one of the largest vote tallies in recent memory with close to 1,200 votes cast.
And voters were in a generous mood, approving all funding requests including the $5,979,211 budget, by a vote of 937 to 205.
The funding plan calls for a 3.75 percent increase despite cutting spending by $1.01 million dollars as revenues also decreased by $1.13 million.
The Manchester Select Board cut nearly every budget in town except for the fire departmentâs budget.
