"The Talk of the Town"
City Council meets tonight at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers for a hearing on the real estate tax rate. The proposed budget reduced the rate from 99 cents per $100 to 77.92 cents, but with the inflated property reassessments, the tax increase will average about 8.5%. Council could accept the proposal, or change it. A vote is expected tonight after the hearing.
