City weighs tax credit cut to close budget gap
Grace urged reducing the city tax credit from 100 to 50 percent for residents who work outside the city to boost revenue. If approved, July 1 would start the change, bringing in 400000 for the rest of the year, 2 million in 2005, and 2.7 million in 2006. Pileski warned it could hurt the renewal income tax levy, which yields 5.5 million annually. Council members debated impacts on residents and services as budgets proceed with a March 31 deadline and March 29 special meeting.
