Hayward Payroll Tax Delay Faces Skepticism and Delay
City officials in Hayward foresee a six to nine month hold before payroll tax discussions begin, with council members opposed to an immediate levy. Mayor Weinreb favors a tax tied to property tax cuts, while City Manager Hanley and Finance Director McCormack warn that state action may steer the issue. Oakes highlights the existing 5 percent utility tax slated for elimination June 30, promising savings of about $17 per resident, and critics urge not to raise taxes unless essential.
