Why We Chose It
Much has changed since 1953; one thing that hasn’t — taxes creating consternation among those responsible to pay them. In today’s dollars, that $891,000 equates to about $10.7 million. Today, our budgets are larger, more heavily subsidized, shaped by special projects like flood protection, injected with sales tax and all around harder to decipher. But get out your reading glasses, the 2025 preliminary budget will be released before too much longer.
