City property tax increase
To the editor:
I am writing this letter out of concern for our city residents who have sent emails and called me and I am sure my fellow councilors regarding the shock of the estimated increase on the proposed tax statements recently mailed out. Speaking on my behalf we are NOT going to raise taxes to anywhere near this level (approx 19 percent increase). The reason for this increase is proposed 2017 budget costs for expanding our industrial park. We are working very hard at other funding options (not taxes) that will reduce this amount significantly.
