Big crowd expected at meeting Thursday BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — The school board will convene a special meeting Thursday where it will trim the proposed 2011-12 school budget by $1.5 million. The move is being made just in case the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration rules only 10 percent could be restored to
the budget from deliberative session, not the full 11 percent voters sought to add. The school board also must make a contingency plan on state retirement funds, which Gov. John Lynch has intimated the state will no longer contribute 35 percent as it has done in the past, leaving taxpayers in Conway to pick up the estisee SCHOOL CUTS page 8

CONWAY —The first full day of spring Monday looked anything springlike as the region got hit with a winterlike snowstorm that left from 2 to 12 inches of new snow on local roads — and ski slopes. While those longing for warm weather bemoaned the spring freshies, others see SPRING SNOW page 9

OSSIPEE -- After six hours of debate, lawmakers decided not to approve Carroll County's 2011 budget on Monday. They are scheduled to meet again next Tuesday, and one topic far from settled is the future of the county farm's proposed livestock program. In county government, a group of 14 state representatives approve the bottom line budget. The county commissioners manage the money with help of the department heads. The delegation considered passing a total county budget of $25,937,243. About half would have been offset with revenue. The amount to be raised by taxes would have been $13,095,836, which is only $7,000 more than see COUNTY page 3
