Are You Happy with the Outcome of Tuesday's School Budget Vote?

Budget approved by slimmest of margins Tuesday.

The budget passed by 18 votes as it garnered 60.2 percent approval. The budget pierces the state's tax cap, with a 4.2 percent hike in the tax levy, thus it required a 60 percent super-majority to pass.
