CONWAY — Even with nearly $30,000 coming in from the town's share of Revo casino proceeds, the town's welfare budget will be overspent due to heavy demand, officials said Tuesday.
As required by law, selectmen held a public hearing to accept $28,810 from Revo on Tuesday, then allocated the money to the welfare department.Â
