Error in Goshen budget article

CORRECTION
In the May 30 edition of The Register Citizen, a story incorrectly stated that the Goshen fund balance was nearly $10.7 million, when in fact that was the town’s budget amount. The actual fund balance, going into the budget proposal, was $1,491,000.
Also, due to the effect of the town’s recent revaluation on property values, taxpayers will only be affected by a roughly 1.4 mill increase to their taxes, or $1,640 for a property assessed at $100,000, rather than $1,920 as previously reported.
