Incumbent Rutland Mayor David Allaire won re-election for his two-year seat against Michel Messier 1707-657 Tuesday night.

Messier also lost in a bid for city treasurer 1963-429 to incumbent Mary Markowski.

All of Rutland city’s municipal and school budgets passed as did all the articles.

Voters approved about $10 million in bond payments to address sewage and road problems.

A $7.4 million bond for sewage improvements was approved 1910-548 and a $3 million bond for road improvements was approved 1848-614.

The $21.4 million municipal budget passed 1575-1061 on Tuesday and the $54.4 million school budget passed 1438-1061.

A new Board of Alderman member was also elected. Matthew Reveal defeated Dan White for a one-year Board of Alderman seat 1510-597.
