Mills River Eyes One Cent Property Tax Hike
Mills River residents may face a one cent property tax increase as the Town Council directed the town manager to prepare a budget. The move aims to cover operating costs tied to new facilities and fund a 2.6 percent cost of living raise plus a potential 2 percent merit raise. The proposal seeks to maintain current services and fiscal stability for the coming year.

School funding friction near deal with higher support
After a heated meeting last week the Board of Commissioners and School Board edge toward a détente and an agreement for more school funding next year. Superintendent David Jones and School Board chair Ervin Bazzle joined others at the meeting urging a 1.6 million increase to restore 2010 11 funding after last year’s 7.5 percent cut to 19.56 million. Bazzle said Commissioner Bill O Connor pressed him on operating costs and rumors about the impact of the funding cut.
