City cuts tax on intangibles hit budget

The loss in revenue endangers the city budget as that tax once accounted for about three-fourths of income, now falling to under half. Hallmark Cards president Donald J. Hall and other local leaders referenced the impact as property tax increases were used to offset the shortfall.

Petaluma Eyes New Impact Fee for Growth
