Cuts made Tuesday night bring the proposed budget increase down from 3.18 percent, the Times said. Republican majority members voted to cut two of three proposed elementary-level technology specialists at a savings of $150,000, and agreed to further put off the elimination of pay-to-participate fees, the Trumbull Times said.
