Montpelier city councilors grapple with a proposed property tax hike for the upcoming budget, aiming to balance services and affordability. The initial proposal from acting city manager Kelly Murphy suggests an 11% increase, which could mean around $385 more in taxes for homeowners. Councilors, including Adrienne Gil, Ben Doyle, and others, question the impact on working families and fixed-income residents, pushing for cuts to reduce the tax rate hike. Public hearings start next week, with councilors hoping for public input to generate more ideas.
