• Town collects three-quarters of FY26 budget through March 31 (homenewshere.com) — Winchester officials report the town has already collected about 76% of expected FY26 revenue and spent 88% of its budget with three months left in the fiscal year. Key takeaways include strong state aid, a shortfall in motor vehicle excise taxes, higher energy and water-sewer costs, and nearly fully spent school and retirement budgets, all ahead of next week’s FY27 Town Meeting votes.
• Sen. Jason Lewis, Senate pass Environmental Protection Bill including plastic waste reductions (winchesternews.org) — A major environmental bill backed by Sen.

The measure now heads to the House, while Winchester News reminds readers it relies on local support through donations and newsletter subscriptions.
• These CT suburbs are the 'best' in the US for 'people tired of city living,' HGTV says (ctpost.com) — Winchester earns a spot on HGTV’s list of the nation’s best suburbs for people tired of city living, alongside Needham and several New York and New Jersey towns.
