Tioga works on budget

The Tioga City Council plans to retain the same tax rate for the upcoming fiscal year of $0.493155 per $100 valuation.

Likewise, the council plans to keep the budget close to the current budget, with the main difference being a 4% raise for city employees across the board.

“We don’t want to increase [the tax rate]; don’t know that we need to decrease it, but just leave it the same,” Mayor Craig Jezek said.
