Tax Millage Rate Increase Defeated

Friday, October 22, 2010

    The proposed millage rate increase was defeated at the October 7th called Council meeting.  The vote was unanimous.  The unanimous vote was somewhat unexpected since the Council had voted earlier to consider the increase in millage from 6.8 to 7.3 mills.  Even those proposing the increase, voted to keep the millage at 6.8.  So, after about six weeks delay and perhaps $1,500 in advertising expense, some members of the Council had a change of heart and voted no.  This is thanks to your input and thanks to those spoke at the Council meeting and voiced objection to the increase.  Thank You..!

Thank you! We the citizens appreciate keeping taxes low in these tough times, however approving pay raises isn't exactly fiscally responsible.
