The Millville City Commission voted to raise its real estate tax by 8 cents per $100 assessed. Each Commissioner explained in detail the effort that went into developling this difficult budget. Commissonor Joe Derlla talked about future negotations with the city unions and he thanked Millville First for meeting with him on the budget. There was the typical grumbling that the city keeps raising taxes so much that folks have to move out.The new municipal budget raises the city property tax rate to $1.21 per $100 of assessed property value. The owner of a home assessed at $145,000 will pay $1,754.50 in municipal taxes next year -- or $116 more than they now pay.One cent on the tax rate is worth $146,973.Cuts were made through the elimination of municipally-provided health insurance for professionals in the city payroll, including the city prosecutor, public defender and judge. Now why can't the County do this??
I asked a question concering a proposal to close the Millville Police Dispatch to save $400,000 in the budget. This issue will be discussed in further detail later. Check out my videos at www.youtube.com/mkrull1
