At the November meeting of the Dresden town board, the 2013 town budget was finalized. The amount to be raised by taxes is only $5,800 more than 2012. This translates into an increase of 1.53% in taxes from 2012 to 2013. The town board should be congratulated for keeping the town budget in excellent shape during these trying fiscal times.
In another bit of good news, the total debt of Sewer District #1 is now $ 94,560, down from $140,586 a year ago.
The fire protection budget stays the same as it was last year.
