Education Bill Threatens Wilmington Tax Burden
A Vermont bill to redistribute education funds from municipal taxes could cost Wilmington more money as state aid shares fall. Local officials warn the town, rich in property and recreation appeal, would pay higher school taxes despite contributing more than many communities. With six weeks left in the legislative session, passage remains uncertain but likely.

Wilmington Budget Report Details Firehouse School Plans
The Wilmington budget committee releases its recommendations highlighting a new firehouse and police station at 75 000 funded by town notes for five years. An Aug 12 tax levy would raise 23 cents per dollar of the grand list to cover the first installment, with 7 500 for school planning and 3 700 for a high school fire escape. The panel also suggests purchasing 10 000 square feet near the current firehouse for up to 1 000 if a fair price can be found and authorizing notes to cover current expenses. The grand list rises to 82 500, guiding tax appropriations for town improvements.
