Excerpt:
Library tax
The committee is also suggesting increasing the library tax levy, charged to rural areas that don’t have their own libraries, by about 26 percent.
State law requires that the county library levy cover at least 70 percent of the expense of rural patrons using municipal libraries. This year St. Croix’s tax covered 71 percent. The Finance Committee recommendation would raise that to 85 percent in 2010.
The intent would be to increase the levy another 15 percent in 2011.
