Apparently, after I left the meeting last night, city council voted to increase the proposed property tax levy. Jane Adams and Joel Fritzler voted against the increase, which will go to fund state mandated fire and police department pensions. Adams wants to see the city make more cuts in its budget rather than raising taxes, but I don't think either she or Fritzler came forward with proposed cuts the city should make.
The increase will amount to about $8 per $100,000 of assessed valuation.
