Rutland, Vermont - November 3, 2009
Rutland residents could be asked to support a 14-cent hike in the city tax rate under a budget proposal unveiled by Mayor Chris Louras.
The $18 million proposal is $1.4 million more than the current budget. Louras says some of that is due to increases in fixed costs. But he is also proposing new spending on fire department personnel, efficiency improvements and paving.
The city council must approve the budget before putting it before voters on Town Meeting Day.
