If you really want the inside details on the budget, review the notes and video replay from the Finance Committee meetings. The Town Council version of the budget hearings have been a simple reading of the budget line items and amounts and then occasionally a 'hold' for a specific items of interest to one or more Councilors. What used to be rather informative sessions have disappeared the past several years.
