The Anoka County Board of Commissioners has voted in favor of a 2013 budget that decreases the property tax levy yet again by more than $1 million. The proposed budget of $241.5 million will result in a reduction in the county portion of the property tax bill for most low and moderate value Anoka County homes. "We're just beginning to emerge from one of the most devastating economic periods in our country's history," said Board of Commissioners Chair Rhonda Sivarajah. "It's our responsibility as leaders to not overburden (hit our citizens with a tax increase) our citizens just as they're starting to get back on their feet. We will move forward with the excellent and diverse array of service as we always have, while staying focused on our priorities of sound management, a diverse tax base, low debt burden, and healthy reserves," said Sivarajah. 9/12/2012
