Connecticut shares the Town Meeting form 70-621 of government used by many other New England communities. They differ from Massachusetts and the northern tier of states in being more tightly bound to the published 70-577 agenda—in Connecticut, the Town Meeting may discuss, but not alter, an article placed before them; nor may they place new items on the agenda. If a Town Meeting rejects a budget, a new Town Meeting must be called to consider the next proposed 70-571 budget. State Law allows the Board of Selectmen to adopt an estimated tax rate and continue operating based on the previous budget in the event a Town Meeting hasn't adopted a new budget in time.70-569
