NEILLSVILLE SCHOOL LEVY UP 11%
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009 -- 2:36 PM
We're getting our first glimpse at what the state budget will mean to local property taxpayers.The Neillsville School Board has set their Annual Meeting for August 24th at 8 p.m.
Tuesday, they released their proposed budget numbers; they're not pretty.
Under the plan, the local tax levy will jump 11%; that?s on top of a 7.6% increase in last year?s budget.
Overall spending will climb about 3.5% to $14.2-million.
These numbers are preliminary, but represent the "best guess" of district administration.
UPDATE: We talked to district admin. John Gaier Wednesday. We'll have his thoughts Thursday.
