Mount Airy Pitches Five Cent Tax Cut in 1981 Budget
Mount Airy officials propose a 9596,900 budget for 1981-1982 with a 64 cent per 100 assessed value tax rate, five cents lower than last year. Mayor Dixon cites higher interest income and a larger property base, plus improved efficiency, as factors behind the cut. Funds cover general and water sewer departments with emphasis on capital projects, roads, and public safety. A $20,000 surplus from last year is carried over, and a reserve fund exists but is not included in the budget. citizen Robert Woodward questions tax value during the public hearing.
