Democratic councilmen Edward H Holmes and Anthony Rego filed a minority budget of 6,049,156 contrasting with the Republican provisional 6,082,000. The Democrats cut 14,000 from their submission after public inspection and target reduced tax dollars and revenue sharing, while Republicans kept Balzano's plan with shifts to revenue sharing and a 140,800 capital budget.

Bristol Zoning Board Lacks Authority Over Stop Work Orders
Town Solicitor Albert A. Nutini says the Bristol Zoning Board acted without power when it ordered building inspector Thomas Borromeo to halt work on two projects. He notes state laws and town code limit the board’s ability to direct stop work on its own motion after a building permit is issued. The case centers on two permits for Frederico Pacheco and Victor Franco amid questions of zoning compliance and political pressure. an earlier Highlands Association appeal was denied. The hearing included missing witness Borromeo and ongoing inquiries into inspectors’ decisions and potential missteps.
