Cedar Rapids pitches modest 15-cent library tax plan
Cedar Rapids officials propose a 3-by-5 plan to raise the general property tax levy by 15 cents over five years to fund the Cedar Rapids Public Library. The plan avoids a referendum, starts in fiscal 2018, and would stabilize library funding after a $400,000 budget cut and reduced hours. Mayor Ron Corbett calls it reasonable and predictable to sustain one of the city’s largest departments.
