Not only are Monrovians’ taxes not going up, but also maybe a critical city service will become cheaper and even improve in delivery.
Last week, the Monroe City Council passed into ordinance 2025 property tax rates, holding these steady at last year’s levels. This came after the Council’s majority Democrats for the past month had talked up a tax increase of 1.81 mills to provide more dollars for unspecified spending they claimed necessary.
But at the meeting where the agenda had called for a public meeting to raise rates, instead that essentially was waved off when a promised amendment was entertained and passed unanimously keeping the 2024 rates. For whatever reason, the Democrats walked back from the tax hike.
