Seattle planners expect tax levy increase for next year
City council members anticipate a higher levy than the 1922 figure of 6 mills as they begin budget cuts. Preliminary estimates total 6 683 513 68 with potential removals of 200 000 to 250 000 from abatements and a further 200 000 plus in additional cuts. Salaries may not be reduced and police and fire budgets face limited changes under Mayor Browns flat cut plan. Councilman Lou Cohen supports the flat rate approach.
