FAIRFIELD, CT Fairfield officials continued the debate over the town s 2021-22 budget this week, issuing dueling public statements after the $332.3 million spending plan was approved Monday by the Representative Town Meeting.
The budget passed with a 23-17 vote that fell mostly along party lines. The spending plan has a projected mill rate increase of 0.78 percent, which is set to be finalized 7:30 p.m. Thursday by the Board of Finance. The original version of the budget, presented several months ago by First Selectwoman Brenda Kupchick, had an estimated mill rate hike of nearly 2 percent, but the plan saw over $3 million in cuts during the approval process.
