City Comptroller Favors Tax Boost of .9 of a Mill

Bridgeport's city budget plan proposes a 0.9 mill tax increase and totals about $33.7 million in city funds plus school and department budgets. Comptroller Doyle recommends 11.22 million for education, 2.78 million for police, 3.23 million for fire, and a general government package with salary advances, showing cuts from requests but including provisions for police and firefighter pay raises and potential new hires. The plan uses a grand list of roughly $354.5 million and projects a $34,513 budget surplus after appropriations.
