The Record
The Bergen County Freeholders on Tuesday introduced a 2013 county budget that slices an additional $2.3 million from County Executive Kathleen Donovan’s spending proposal, including a $700,000 cut in salaries for the County Police.
The Freeholders’ $498 million budget would still translate to a $24.63 annual tax increase for the owner of the average home, assessed at $324,200. That’s about $4.55 cents less than the tax hike that Donovan proposed in January.
The vote to introduce the spending plan passed unanimously; however, the cuts to the County Police are likely to generate heat when the measure is up for public hearing and a vote of adoption on June 5.
