Trumbull Town Council Approves Budget

TRUMBULL, CT- The Trumbull Town Council passed First Selectman Tim Herbst's budget, but not without some controversy.

Trumbull Education Association announced that its members will join the Connecticut Partnership 2.0 Plan, but negotiations with the town are ongoing, according to the Trumbull Times.

A $1 million shortfall has been built into the budget and student programs or the number of teachers could be cut.

All town council Republicans voted in favor of the budget and five of six Democrats abstained, citing concern about the shortfall and possible arbitration.
