The News & Observer reports about today’s Durham County commissioners’ meeting, which included comments from county manager Mike Ruffin.
“It’s not a question of whether, but of how much,” Ruffin said. “What do you want to do?”
Ruffin was not asking for an answer right away, but did want a consensus on some proposed guidelines that included a 75.53-cent cap on the property-tax rate. The current rate is 70.81 cents per $100 valuation.
“We are still looking at doing a lot of reducing in the county’s budget next year,” Ruffin said.
