Killington Budget Stalemate Escalates

Killington’s town manager and select board are locked in a tense budget standoff, with the board pushing to cut a key administrative position—something the manager fiercely opposes, calling it essential amid other vacancies. The conflict escalated when labor unions accused the board of retaliating against unionized staff, triggering a formal complaint. Despite the manager claiming the budget is finalized and ready, the board rejects its format and has resorted to executive sessions, even hiring an outside firm after the finance director’s resignation. After a marathon meeting, little progress was made—both sides accuse each other of stalling—and two board members are now tasked with finding a compromise before pressure mounts to finalize the budget.
