ANSONIA — Mayor David Cassetti recently unveiled a $67.1 million budget for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2024.
Cassetti’s budget includes a 0.25 mill rate increase, from 26.24 mills to 26.49 mills.
If the budget is accepted as proposed, a single-family house on Holbrook Street assessed at $180,000 would pay $45 more per year in taxes.
City Democrats have raised questions over the Cassetti administration practice of including “anticipated future revenue” in the budget — $5 million in the current budget and about $7 million in the proposed budget.
The Valley Indy, during a recent ‘Great Give’ livestream, talked to Ansonia budget director Kurt Miller for about an hour on May 2.
The video above is edited down to about 12 minutes (full video here), and focuses on the future revenue, and on the administration’s stance on selling the city’s sewer system to a private company (previous stories here and here).
