Groton Budget Referendums Suggested By Charter Revision Group

GROTON, CT — The Charter Revision commission has recommended doing away with the Representative Town Meeting and allowing annual budget referendums.

A seven-member Board of Finance would be created as well, according to The Day. Proponents argue that it will allow voters to have a more direct say in how their tax dollars are spent.

The suggestion will go to the Town Council, which will decide what charter revision recommendations make it to a referendum before voters in November.
