Residents, Taxpayers Again Reject Tolland's 2026-27 Budget Plan

Tolland's budget proposal for the next fiscal year failed by just a few votes Tuesday.

TOLLAND, CT — The second battle over Tolland's $60.6 million budget proposal for the 2026-27 fiscal year was more like a split decision than a knockout, but the spending plan was still rejected in a Tuesday referendum — by 60 votes.

The results Tuesday were:

  • Yes - 1213
  • No - 1273

The next budget referendum is slated for May 19, in the Library Program Room, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
