Stafford Current Year Budget Proving Challenging Thanks to Snow

By Linda Tishler Levinson STAFFORD — As the town enters budget season, the 2010 grand list has been released, showing less than a 1 percent increase for the values of all taxable property in town. “If we keep our budget even, that will be fine,� First Selectman Michael Krol said of the grand list figures.

Personal property is valued at $70.9 million, an increase of $547,364 or 1.7 percent. Motor vehicles are valued at $78.5 million, an increase of $2.66 million or 3.58 percent.
