UNION CITY -- Tonight (Tuesday night) at 6 p.m., a public hearing on the $101 million 2010-2011 Union City budget will be held at City Hall, 3715 Palisade Ave. The proposed budget will cover spending from this past July 1 through next June 30.

The new Union City budget totals $100,977,220, a $4 million decrease from last year. The biggest expenditure is public safety programs, according to city officials.

The tax rate will increase by 3 percent, and the tax levy – the dollar amount to be raised from taxpayers to support the budget – has increased by 3.5 percent.

The public will be allowed to comment at the meeting before the Board of Commissioners takes a final vote on the spending plan.

To confirm the date and time of the budget hearing before attending, residents can contact the city clerk at (201) 348-5731.

I love the arrogance of this newspaper... calling this a SMALL tax increase! Are you kidding me? Who considers a 3% city tax increase SMALL!? That's huge for people who are on the edge financially. And a lot more people are on the edge today than ever were before. I guess this newspaper must be doing very well financially and paying their employees so much money that they can afford to call ANY TAX INCREASE - SMALL! Good for you. I'm glad you have so much extra money laying around that you don't mind paying more of it in taxes. BUT WE DON'T!
