Selectman Jack Plumley is running unopposed for a three-year term, and Road Commissioner Jeremy Johnson is running unopposed for a two-year term.

Town Clerk Lianne Bedard said the tax rate will likely go from $15 per $1,000 of assessed property value to $16.40.

If all articles pass as recommended, the municipal budget will be $770,448, which is $70,000 more than approved last year.
