$124 Million Budget Offered for Fairfax City
From today's Metro section:
Fairfax City Manager Robert Sisson has proposed a $124.3 million budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 that includes increases in taxes and fees.Sisson asked the City Council on Tuesday for a 3-cent increase in the city's real estate tax rate, to 74 cents per $100 of assessed value. He also proposed a doubling of the meals tax to 4 percent and a 3 percent increase in water and sewer rates.
If approved by the council, the budget would increase spending by 5.1 percent over the current fiscal year.

I can't help but think that the tax increases wouldn't be necessary if the Mayor weren't so profligate with his spending. His attempts to win votes by putting money in any neigborhood for ANY reason is ridiculous.
