FY 2022 ( July, 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022) was an outstanding year for tax receipts. When we build a budget we always project tax revenues and that is what the budget is built on.
In the budget, we allocated $100 million dollars to reduce the statewide education property tax and increased the payment of rooms and meals tax to cities and towns.
