On Monday, November 8th, the Dresden town board finalized the 2011 town budget. The amount to be raised by taxes will only be $6,780 more than 2010. This translates into a 1.32% increase in taxes from 2010 to 2011. The town board should be congratulated on 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 $185,775, down from $230,128 a year ago. If only our national debt was headed in the same direction.
While Whitehall discusses a 13% tax hike for next year, our local town board members have really worked hard to keep Dresden town taxes low.
