Mayor Seeks Use of Ace Tax Money for Jobs

Mayor Chambers announced plans to use back tax funds to hire about 300 workers immediately, with $1,100,000 in bonds approved by the attorney general. He said if the bonds are approved, the city can deploy men to streets, parks, and river repairs, while current tax debts are paid and property owners updated on installments. The city aims to employ up to 1,500 workers as the program expands, drawing on $75,000 available now and more funds from the tax revenues to fund late payments and avoid delinquent collections. The plan hinges on continuing legal approval and charter constraints.
