Washoe County Budget Sees Tax Rate Reduction Possible

The plan shows a 12 percent increase in spending but may lower the tax rate by about five and a half cents per hundred due to higher assessed valuation and cost savings. County Manager C B Kinnison cites savings from Kerr Mills medical costs and elimination of the water conservancy district as factors in the budget.
