Tomorrow, May 10, there is a budget referendum in the town of Clinton. There are two separate budgets up for a vote: the town budget and the education budget. If either budget does not pass, in two weeks, there will be another vote on an updated budget.

In order to vote, you must be a Clinton resident and own at least $1,000 of property, either vehicle or land. Morgan students who wish to vote must have registered at least 48 hours before the referendum. Students are encouraged to register to vote as soon as possible so that they can vote in the event that the budget does not pass on the first round. The students will then be eligible to vote in any future reconciliations.

Below are the sections of the education budget: (source: LEGAL NOTICE TOWN OF CLINTON BUDGET REPORT)
