Troy Budget Ties Tax Rate to Property Decline
The Troy budget for 1959 projects higher operating costs and aims to raise revenue mainly through direct taxation due to a drop in assessed valuations. The plan keeps the tax rate at 81 cents per $100 of valuation while total appropriations rise about $43,000, with salary increases and other items baked in. The Common Council reviews the mayor’s figures amid concerns about potential gaps and the use of expected revenue gains to fund spending.
