Chron Reports: MC Taxes Going Up Again?
During the week of early voting for the municipal elections it was reported in local media that the city saw no need to raise taxes again and the then budget proposal reflected that assertion (by the city manager). Ten days after the election and at the first council session, where the 3 incumbents were sworn in once again, the city apparently is now proposing a record bond debt and another tax increase to cover it.--Click the title link for this full chronicle piece.

They couldn't even wait one Council session to exercise their authority and raise taxes. Did you all notice also that the Golf Course estimates for expenditures are going up nearly every Council Session? It used to be $3.2 million, then $8 million, now its over $9 million. We could spend thirty million on the City's oldest subdivision and it would still be the City's oldest subdivision.

"The additional debt could require a penny increase in the portion of the property tax rate that pays for debt costs, Assistant City Manager Bill Atkinson said."
That's funny, the week of early voting the city releases a budget projection of no tax increase and the second week after they reissue an aggressive bond plan that will increase taxes and debt. These people are just too predictable.

So why isn't this surprising?
Nothing like more taxes to make your day!
