Public budget hearing draws many to support tax rise
At the Warren County public hearing on the FY2014 15 budget most speakers backed higher taxes. Stephen F Kurtz of the Warren County Republican Committee presented a March 21 resolution opposing tax increases including a 2 cent rise in the real estate tax rate from 59 to 61 cents per 100 dollars assessed. He urged the board to cut spending amid rising costs and a flat growth outlook. The resolution criticizes county officials for not cutting costs and reaffirms Republican values at the local level.
