Newtown voters to decide $147 million budget with nearly 3% tax increase April 28

United States municipalities advanced budget proposals this month: Newtown's Legislative Council moved a $147.4 million 2026–27 plan to an April 28 referendum after March 30 deliberations, Ansonia's tax board debated a $68.1 million proposal April 8, and the CCSD board approved a tentative nearly $4 billion budget for 2026–27. Voters in Newtown will decide the proposed mill‑rate increase April 28; Ansonia's proposal will go to the Board of Aldermen April 14 and may require a referendum because net tax increases exceed three percent; CCSD will review its final budget in May amid projected enrollment declines and a reported $33 million reduction.
