Pownal Town Meeting Set To Vote On Budgets And Officials
Pownal residents will meet February 28 for town and school district floor business, hear official reports, and vote on electing a second constable and a tax collector, number of grand jurors, and tax collection methods.

The school district seeks 365,916 in tax money, up 23,135, with state aid lowered to 98,000. Multiple candidates run for selectman tax collector and school director. Several fund requests from libraries, RSVP, health agency, and community groups are on the agenda along with revenue sharing allocations and landfill funding decisions. Balloting occurs March 1 at the Town Hall after the meeting at the elementary school.
