EWSD recommends an FY24 budget of $90.7 million. No, that is not all coming out of your property taxes.

The Town of Essex will be having its 1st election since splitting with the City of Essex Junction… the Selectboard decided against mailed ballots due to the cost. Two citizens in the audience were promoting election fraud conspiracies. Off to a great start!

@preciouslittlesleep Can you provide any insight into the “no cause” evictions statute that the Essex Town Selectboard is currently considering? What problem is it trying to solve and why would we bake it into the new charter? I know you’ve been involved in these discussions… #Vermont #VT #EssexVT
