Town cuts 1950 budget striking salary raise and taxes
Town of Greenburgh votes an eleventh hour budget revision trimming about 50 000 from the 1950 estimate and eliminating a 150 salary raise for all town employees. The move lowers the tax rate across the six incorporated villages and reduces county expense contributions, a shift hailed by taxpayers as taxes look set to fall. The piece frames the change as a rare politically favorable act and notes potential national ripple effects.
