Marion budget outlook grows as taxes fund major projects
Marion projects 2003 spending at over 38 million, led by sales tax revenue from a 1 percent municipal tax and a 1 percent home rule tax. Officials cite strong retail growth, debt funded by bonds for water sewer and a $12 million pipeline of capital improvements including a $10.5 million wastewater plant and a $7 million civic center. The park district and schools remain solid finansially, with bonds refinanced to avoid tax hikes and local funding exceeding state aid.
