SUNAPEE — After voters rejected a proposed town budget earlier this month, officials are scrambling to make the nearly $800,000 in cuts required to operate under a default budget.

SUNAPEE — In ballot voting Tuesday, Sunapee voters rejected the proposed municipal budget of $11.03 million, 516-494.

Articles of note: There are 10 articles proposing changes to the town’s zoning ordinance. Another article asks whether voters wish to adopt the Sunapee Community Power Plan. Another article would levy an additional motor vehicle fee of $5 to support a municipal transportation improvement fund. A petitioned article would ask the town’s elected representatives to oppose expansion of taxpayer funding for private education. Another petitioned article would confirm the town’s support for the town and state’s current procedures “with regard to ethics, transparency, conflict of interest, and Right to Know request.”
