WEST GARDINER When the votes on spending were all done in the West Gardiner Town Garage at Saturday’s Town Meeting, the 60 town residents had to vote one more time.
Because the $1.27 million in spending proposed for this budget year in this southern Kennebec County town was higher than what voters approved last July, and higher than the cap imposed by state law on the property tax levy limit, voters were asked to approve that after voting for all the spending that got them there.
