📰 News we're reading
• In rare move, all 5 Southern Berkshire towns delay school budget vote amid financial turmoil (berkshireeagle.com) — Monterey, along with the four other Southern Berkshire district towns, is postponing its school budget vote until a special town meeting in June because the district’s finances are still being untangled. Officials want more accurate, transparent numbers before asking residents to approve each town’s share, and the state could step in with a temporary budget if four towns miss the June 30 deadline.
