Fairfield Taxpayer's Perspective on 2016 Budget
As we noted when the Fiscal 2016 budget was first proposed by the First Selectman, Fairfield Taxpayer applauds the fact that the proposed tax increase is only 1.64%, which is close to the inflation rate for the first time in many years, perhaps only coincidentally because this is a municipal election year.
