In a surprising move that has left residents and merchants, the City Council last night voted to augment taxes. The controversial decision comes after weeks of discussion among council members, with some arguing that the increase is necessary to finance vital services. Opponents, however, have shared their reservations about the impact the tax hike will have on citizens, particularly those experiencing financial hardships.
A public meeting is scheduled for next week to allow residents to voice their thoughts on the matter. The council has suggested that they are open to analyzing alternative solutions, but for now, the tax increase remains in force.
