📰 News we're reading

• Rumford voters approve $13.16M town budget (sunjournal.com) — Rumford voters have approved a $13.16 million town budget, backing all 47 warrant articles and re-electing two select board members unopposed. Residents also chose two Regional School Unit 10 board members in a close four-way race. Town officials say the 5.59% budget increase is tempered by a one-year slowdown in capital spending and expected new taxable value by 2027.
