In 1998 Councilwoman Georgine Welo was already sounding the tax increase alarm. Seven years later in 2005 as Mayor she was able to convince the taxpayer’s of the need for a tax hike. It should be noted that in 1998 the state of the economy was much healthier than it was in the year 2005. In the public dialogue regarding a proposed tax increase there was no mention of pay raises for nearly everyone at City Hall. Why didn’t at least one councilperson object to pay raises when the original intent of the tax increase was sold to the public under vastly different circumstances?
