IS CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERING ANOTHER RATE HIKE

I've often said "it's easy to spend someone else's money" and there is no better proof of that than government spending. Governments at all levels depend on taxpayers to fund their schemes and dreams and if and when there is a shortfall, they know they can always raise the tax rate and City Council may be considering this month..

City Council Council will need to decide whether raise the propert tax rate to 8.1% as recommended, cut services or add new programs that will increase the rate. Budget discussions are set to start Nov. 13 at city hall.
