Assuming I processed the numbers correctly, Montville will endure a 4 percent loss of revenue under the governor’s proposed budget. Also assuming the proposed budget comes into effect unaltered, Montville must adjust the town’s budget to reflect the revenue loss. Short of conducting an in-depth analysis, I suggest the town execute a 4 percent, across the board reduction in funding for the various town entities, including the Board of Education.
