This shows that the budget did in fact pass 1,999 votes to 1,885. Question: Is the margin sufficient to call for a recount on the budget vote? Stay tuned there could be an adjustment in the total votes. Also to note is that provisional ballots have not been yet counted but that is usually a very small number.

More to come later.....
