Franklin Town Council Shifts $1M to Schools After Failed Tax Override

By MyFM’s Claire Beverly – The Franklin Town Council has reportedly agreed to cut the town budget by more than a million dollars and move that money to the school district. In a meeting Wednesday night with a packed agenda that did not end until well after midnight, the town council made the budget move following public comment over potential school cuts following a failed tax override vote. Franklin Matters reports that the council also agreed in principle to use about a million dollars from the town’s and school district’s rainy-day funds.
