The February 23 Lincoln Squirrel article originally headlined “Town Meeting warrant includes 3.1% hike for general budget” cited an incorrect figure for the current fiscal year 2016 budget, which is $34,940,266 and not $33,530,580 (the latter is actually the FY 2015 figure). The proposed budget for FY 2017 is $35,126,576, which represents a one-year increase of 0.5 percent, not 3.1 percent. The February 23 article has been updated and retitled “Town Meeting warrant includes modest budget hike” to reflect this correction.
The financial section and warrant for the March 2016 Annual Town Meeting are available here.
