The plantation took a beating this winter.

About nine residents at the town meeting Saturday approved an estimated $68,300 municipal budget.

Voters approved a $5,000 increase in their snow removal budget and voted to raise $12,000.

“We have to blame Mother Nature,” said Assessor Bruce Bean. “We are suffering the same as everyone else with the weather and fuel prices.”

Residents also voted to raise $20,000 to repair Pond Brook Road, their only road. Bean said it’s a hefty increase over last year. He said the meeting went well and all budget items were approved.

Voters also passed the $83,714 school budget.
