Selectmen propose $5.67 million budget for 2026
Agendas & · Meeting of January 7, 2026
NH RINDGE — Rindge Selectmen settle on a $5.67 million budget after contentious debate over spending cuts. The board voted unanimously for the budget proposal after weighing competing plans, with Selectman Tom Coneys advocating aggressive cuts to employee benefits that other residents opposed. Town Administrator Max Vandervliet was granted exemption from the state retirement system, a move saving the town $15,937.50 in contributions.
The meeting ended with an unresolved dispute: the Jaffrey-Rindge Memorial Ambulance Service demanding payment from a contested $40,000 warrant article approved last year.
