The Haves vs. the have mores

MANIFESTO

A certain Connecticut shoreline town had its budget referendum on Tuesday, and both the town and school budgets passed.

Nevertheless, it's striking that the education budget was defeated in District 1, where the older money (and people) reside. I'm not being entirely facetious when I wonder if a call for splitting the town is in its future.
