Deer Isle and Stonington town meetings are coming up in early March. This week, we offer two preview stories—both center on Stonington's proposed budget. One details the reasoning behind the financial choices, while the other reports on the specific sums being recommended on the warrant articles. (The latter includes a chart that compares the proposed budget to the total expenses of the past five years.) Deer Isle coverage is coming next week. In sports news, Island teams win the middle school basketball championship. Scott's Sport Spot captures the story of their success.
