Area News No deficit if tax survives
Greenwich officials project a balanced 1980 budget if a one percent income tax is approved, with $156,537 in general fund receipts and $119,064 in expenditures yielding a $37,473 year end balance. Repeal could erase $35,000 in revenue and potentially require $25,000 in current year refunds, prompting belt-tightening and hard hits to street maintenance and bridges. Sewer problems and raw sewage complaints add further pressure as officials seek state aid and clearer responsibility.
