In a surprising move that has left residents and business, the City Council last night voted to augment taxes. The controversial decision comes after weeks of discussion among council members, with some claiming that the increase is necessary to fund vital services. Opponents, however, have shared their worries about the impact the tax hike will have on citizens, particularly those facing financial challenges.
A public meeting is scheduled for next week to allow residents to share their thoughts on the matter. The council has suggested that they are open to analyzing alternative solutions, but for now, the tax increase remains in effect.
