Durham/Middlefield Set Town Budgets
The mill rate increase is still up in the air due to various state proposals that could drive up local costs.

Middlefield's budget would increase the mill rate by 3.77, according to the Record-Journal. It takes into account proposals to shift one-third of teacher pension costs to towns and charge 100 percent for resident state troopers.
Officials are still waiting to see if those proposals become a reality before setting the mill rate.
