New Castle Budget Signals Tax Decrease and Hope for 2012
New Castle proposes a 2012 budget with no tax increase and a wage tax cut from 2.2 to 2.15 percent for residents and 2.1 to 2.05 percent for non residents. Mayor Mastrangelo calls the plan a hopeful sign in a distressed city, with a modest surplus versus prior deficits, while noting long term challenges remain. City officials, businesses, and residents are urged to recommit to reversing stagnation and deterioration through cooperation and investment.
