Your Government In-Action

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Here are the three big things that happened at tonight’s City-County Council Meeting.

The Council approved a measure putting the issue of keeping the township assessors on the November ballot.

It also voted down a procedural motion which would have allowed you to pay your property tax reconcilliation bill in installments. Democrats say the law already allows for it, but Republicans say it doesn’t cover everyone and needed Council approval to do it.

The Council also allowed Vernon Brown (for the fourth or fifth time) to bring up his proposal to eliminate the County Option Income Tax Increase on the public safety pension. The measure got sent back to committee again.

And Doris Minton-McNeill didn’t say much tonight except “no comment” and she publicly acknowledged her pastor and her political supporters.

That’s all folks.
