Saline budget pivots on millage amid tax reform impact
The city trims proposed budget to fund the water treatment plan while facing tax reform. Mayor Anderson and Councilmen Brososky Wright vote for the lower millage. Brososky criticizes the process as backwards. The June 6 budget adoption will reveal if the city can operate on a bare budget. County changes cut property assessments from 100 to 97 percent and later to 99 percent, shifting tax burdens countywide. Saline anticipates a tax relief tradeoff as Washtenaw re-factors to 0.99.
