Rensselaerville considers tax increase

Oct 24, 2011 2:08 am
A story without a byline in The Greenville Mountain View Pioneer (the paper without a website) reports that the Town of Rensselaerville is considering raising taxes at budget workshops Oct. 25 and Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. at the Town Hall. "I am truly hoping we don't have to vote to override the tax cap," said Town Supervisor Marie Dermody in the story. The town will lose county sales tax revenue next year, since about 70 fewer people in the town then a decade ago, and the funds are based on census figures. In addition, Albany County's proposed 2012 budget includes a 19.2 percent tax increase.
