Council Approves Budget That Keeps Tax Rate Flat In Wallingford

WALLINGFORD, CT — The Wallingford Town Council approved a budget this week that keeps the tax rate flat at 29.19 mills for the 2020-21 fiscal year, according to the Meriden Record-Journal.

The Record-Journal reports the council achieved a zero-percent tax increase by reducing Mayor William W. Dickinson Jr.’s proposed budget by $1.28 million through a series of amendments. Dickinson’s proposed budget called for a 1.06-percent tax increase.

The budget will now go to Dickinson, who could veto it or sign it.
