2010 Budget Followup (Decrease in Taxes)

  Tuesday, November 24th 2009

I am very proud to see the 2010 budget with a decrease in tax rate.

You can view the approved 2010 budget online here:

Unfortunately there were very little people who actually attended the public budget hearing - but those who did attend were a little concerned with the "perceived" 4% raise of the 2010 budget.

I use the word "perceived" here in quotes, as it was simply that - "perceived" 4% raise. The fact is, that while the budget grew in size 4%, the tax rate in the tentative budget was actually the same.

The Board later decided unanimously to cut a little more - which actually resulted in the tax rate going down for the 2010 budget.

Any questions, just let me know.
