Troy City Budget Adopted By Council Without Change
The Democratic Common Council reversed its stand and reported the 1943 Troy budget to the floor unchanged, adopting it to avoid payless days and financial difficulty. The tax rate totals 57.0 per thousand after reductions, with city and county rates combined and a federal cut about 22 cents from last year. Tax bills likely won't be ready before January 1 as tax offices work overtime to finalize the delayed budget.
