Amherst considers income tax hike for May ballot
Amherst voters may be asked in May to approve a 0.5 percent increase in city income taxes. If approved, the tax would raise about 325000 for operating revenues, with streets cited as a priority though officials debated earmarking funds. The measure would affect workers in Amherst but not city residents working outside.
