Utilities Deductible Idea Scuttled by City Attorney
City council discussed making utility charges tax deductible but rejected the proposal after Attorney Knox Walker noted it would raise the tax rate by 2.04 dollars. He said state and federal authorities and court cases show no legal path to such a deduction. Several council members sided against the idea, preferring to treat utilities as city services or pursue other zoning and park projects.
