Scottsdale aims to lower City tax rate for 1968 69
City Manager Bill Donaldson said the Scottsdale tax rate could drop eight to 11 percent next fiscal year as home values fall while business and vacant land rise. Vacant land, about 78 percent of city property, may see drastic valuation increases, potentially offsetting residential relief. If construction and fees raise city revenue modestly, the same total revenue could come with a lower tax rate, ensuring homeowners see benefits.

Secretary Rusk cited no fresh White House troop needs beyond those already authorized as President Johnson maintains no new decisions. He said Westmoreland asked for up to 206000 additional troops, but Rusk refused to specify numbers or forecast Congress’ involvement, while confirming continued reassessment and current staffing near 510000. The hearing also revisited Gulf of Tonkin events with Rusk defending the administration against charges of misrepresentation.
