Tax Lid Extension Signed by Governor Docking
Gov. Robert Docking signed bills extending the property tax lid indefinitely and transferring welfare administration to the state. The tax lid keeps mill levy limits but drops the budget lid, a change he warns could invite tax increases, while noting it still reduces overall property tax growth. The welfare bill shifts program control to the state and creates regional offices, removing county boards from administration.
