Voters in at least three Vermont towns will consider resolutions about ATVs on municipal roads on Town Meeting Day.

Gov. Phil Scott’s administration has made prioritizing such infrastructure projects a cornerstone of his housing agenda.

“There’s just increasing pressure,� said one city council member. “So when you give somebody, let’s say, a 90-day notice, it sounds like a lot of time, but it really is not.�

Three Vermont cities now allow non-U.S. citizens to vote on local issues, and one town allows 16- and 17-year-olds to vote.

Last year, North Country Union High School principal Chris Young was named Principal of the Year by the Vermont Principals Association. Last week, a national principals' association recognized Young for his advocacy work.

Nearly a third of all school budgets failed to pass on Town Meeting Day. Vermonters were asked if they could shoulder nearly double-digit property tax increases to support their schools.

Among the issues at hand: whether to eliminate the town constable position.

Voters at Town Meeting Day approved infrastructure projects, as towns worked to meet a looming deadline on spending down ARPA funds.

School officials were bracing for a difficult Town Meeting Day � and they were right. A little over 30% of all school budgets went down Tuesday, according to unofficial results compiled by the Vermont Superintendents and School Boards' associations.

The annual tradition of towns gathering to vote on topics big and small is officially over until next year. Here's what we saw as ¿ªÔÆÌåÓý spent the day with you.
