West Windsor residents would see a moderate tax increase under the 2005 budget introduced by council on April 11.##M:[more]##
A public hearing on the $29 million package is scheduled for Monday, May 16. If the budget is approved as introduced, municipal taxes would increase by 3 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. That equates to an increase of about $90 year on a home with an assessed valuation of $300,”000.
Overall, the budget represents a spending hike of almost 4 percent over last year’s $27.9 million spending plan. Officials have attributed the increase to salaries and wages, insurance, costs related to the current township-wide property revaluation, and pension costs for police and other township employees.
