MILTON Town meeting approved budgets for all municipal departments and other spending requests during its second session Tuesday night.
While some of the requests prompted discussion and questions for town officials, town meeting followed the recommendations of the warrant committee and no changes were proposed.
Only the $54.7 million school budget remains to be acted on, along with a recommendation that no money be added to the affordable housing trust this year.
The $77 million in spending approved by town meeting included one new position, an assistant director of public health, which the warrant committee recommended due to the department s workload.
Two currently vacant positions in the police department will not be filled.
Glengarry Knight N, a double winner in the preliminaries of the Game Of Claims Pacing Series for $25,000 base-claiming-price level, came off of cover and just caught American Rebel to take the richest purse of the year to date at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, $50,000, in winning his series Championship in 1:52.3.
A Real Miracle streaked to the early lead in the contest, rejecting the bid of favoured Melanies Tedy for the front spot and forcing that one to tuck in, then letting stablemate American Rebel go to the top past a :27.1 quarter. The last-named pacer hit the half in :56, with Melanies Tedy forced to accept first-over duties and Glengarry Knight N following his cover under the guidance of Anthony Napolitano.
