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.

WEST GARDINER In a return to the open Town Meeting format, residents in West Gardiner will gather April 10 to vote on a proposed spending plan for the town that’s 6.4% higher than what they approved last July.
The proposed $1.27 million spending plan includes requested funding for a new snowplow.
“About every seven years, we replace a plow truck,” said Gregory Couture, chairman of the Board of Selectmen. “This year, we’re replacing two that were bought in 2000 with a new one, and we’ll keep the other as an emergency backup.”
