Bob Reddin, district 2 alderman, in a new article that just came up:

A four-year member of the Finance Committee, Reddin said he is proud the committee has made only modest increases in the city portion of the tax rate. The average tax rate increase over the last four years has been about 1.5 percent, compared to average increases of 3 to 4 percent that were common five to 10 years ago.

Voters, understand that taxes are down because growth is down. City Hall is still taxing to the maximum allowed under state law even though “the last four years has been about 1.5 percent.”

See through this rhetoric Brookfield. You’re smarter than that!
