Mayor Jarjura has kept one of his campaign promises. Shortly before the election last November, he said that the city's mill rate, currently 53.9668, would need to go up a point or two. No one seemed to care, even though everyone complains about the high taxes. Last week, Jarjura announced his proposed budget for next year, with a mill rate of 55.9496. Spending is to increase 4.3 percent from $333,599,242 to $347,936,614. Here's hoping the money gets spent wisely.
