Woodbury Budget Fails at Referendum Thursday

Residents voted down the budget proposal by a wide margin.

Woodbury voters denied the 2014-15 budget proposed in Thursday’s referendum, defeating it by a margin of 288 votes, 715-427.

The budget voted on Thursday included a 3.92 percent increase in spending on municipal operations, from $9,463,255 to $9,834,579.

Voters approved the Region 14 education request in its second 2014-15 budget referendum on May 22 by a wide margin.

With Thursday’s defeat, the budget will go back to the Board of Finance for adjustments before being put to the voters again.
