Norfolk Advisory Committee recommends $56.9 million town budget ahead of Town Meeting. The panel voted unanimously to send Article 6's $56,937,477 total, up more than $400,000 after a debt exclusion moved a $377,742 Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School assessment into exempt debt. Members also approved transfers covering half of an estimated $490,000 snow and ice deficit, $100,000 in police retirement payouts and a new ambulance stretcher, plus a wastewater enterprise budget under which users now cover "95 percent of the cost," up from 80 percent.
