At a special town meeting Tuesday, Oak Bluffs voters agreed to deep cuts to balance the budget for the current fiscal year. Voters slashed $249,666 from the budget; the majority of the cuts came from leaving positions unfilled including the town finance director, two teaching aide positions at the Oak Bluffs School, the zoning board of appeals administrator and a heavy equipment operator. A town library reference librarian position was saved after library trustees offered to take $12,000 from other places in their budget.

A complete story about the special town meeting will appear in the Friday Gazette.
