CTA Calls for Zero Tax Increase for 2016
We are calling on Council to approve a zero tax increase budget for 2016.
In a letter addressed yesterday to the Mayor and members of Council, CTA President Lydia Smith asked that they show leadership by instructing staff to produce a 2016 Town budget resulting in no increase in the municipal portion of property taxes that citizens pay.
Supporters tell us what they think about a zero tax increase…
- GOOD WORK -JS
- I hope they look at this letter seriously. Somehow I don’t think they will but we all have to keep the pressure on them. If we could get a zero increase, it would be a very successful goal.
