City Income Tax Vote Set Tonight in Middletown
City commissioners plan to enact a 0.25 percent income tax with 7:45 p.m. meeting start. The emergency ordinance creates a taxation office with a director and an eight person staff, targeting residents and non residents with payrolls taxed at the source. Officials expect over 300000 dollars annual revenue but initial setup costs may consume about a quarter of that in the first year. A West Middletown resident protests taxation without representation.
