Clifton Park board split widens over budget and pay raises
The Clifton Park town board narrowly passed the 1978 budget with no general tax increase and a slight highway tax cut. Three members defeated amendments for larger raises and a proposed six percent town employee raise, while specific staff such as the town justice, zoning enforcement officer, and building inspector received higher percentages. The measure included $511,000 general fund and $553,000 highway fund, with federal revenue sharing up and unspent funds added. The board also temporarily empowered Richard Burke to issue building permits during the inspector’s vacation.
