TREMONT ? Voters approved a $3.28 million budget for the new fiscal year Tuesday night at what the town manager described as a swift and uncontroversial town meeting.

The budget included $1.95 million for local education and a $100,000 allotment to bring some kind of law enforcement to the town.

Tremont has been without a police presence since last fall, when its resident state trooper left the town to take another job.

“We’re still looking for some sort of police service, whether it be the state police or the sheriff’s office,” Town Manager Millard Billings said Wednesday. “Or we could start our own police force. But we do have funding available either to enter into a contract or to start our own.”

About 100 registered voters attended the meeting, which Billings said did not generate any heated debate.

During Monday’s municipal elections, a retired town office worker trumped the re-election bid of a current selectman.

Both Katherine Thurston, with 214 votes, and Heath Higgins, with 118 votes, were elected to fill the two open seats on the town Board of Selectmen. Current Selectman Alden Gray, with 91 votes, and David Schlaefer, with 103 votes, did not make the cut. Almost 300 people turned out to vote, according to the town clerk.
