The Town of Swanville had two large increases in our budget from the following organizations local Regional School Unit 71 and the County of Waldo. The RSU 71 budget held a public meeting in May and it was voted to approve a 4% increase in the school budget but there was an error in the paperwork presented to the public for our town and our actual increase was 7.75%. The appropriation to Waldo County rose24.23%  from $270,504.08 in FY 23-24 to $336,049.59 in FY 24-25.” Despite these large increases and our own re-valuation the Town of Swanville was able to maintain our mill rate at a slight decrease from 16.8 to 16.7
