MEXICO — The 2020-21 municipal budget of $3.4 million passed Tuesday.

It’s a $138,000 increase from last year.

Major contributors to the increase are the Med-Care Ambulance subsidy increase, at $44,000 per year, as well as a 2% cost-of-living increase given to town employees.

Voters also approved $94,419 for the second year of a seven-year equipment loan. Last year, voters approved lease/purchase agreements for a loader and truck for public works, an SUV for the police department and a mower for the recreation department.

Town officials are also planning to repair up to three streets this year.

Selectmen Cliff Stewart and Thomas “T.J.” Williams were reelected to three-year terms.
