Rockwood Budget Games

There's a lot of spin but the bottom line is that Rockwood city taxes go up 20%. Using Rockwood utility money to improperly fund the city for so many years has to be paid back. There's a lot that's not said out loud here:

The budget so far includes an increase to 90-cent tax-rate, which is down from the initial $1 per $100 valuation that was first proposed and later dropped to 95 cents per $100 valuation. The current tax rate is 75 cents per $100 valuation.
“I’m happy we started out with a tax rate of a $1 and now we dropped it 10 cents to 90,” Councilman Jason Jolly said.
