KINGSTON, N.Y. â Mayor Steve Noble has signed the $43.1 million city budget for 2021 despite concerns about changes the Common Council made to his original proposal.
Noble said during a Facebook Live event on Thursday that the budget "preserves all of the important services we have" and that, even with the council's changes, the city has a spending package that won't raise taxes and supports all planned upcoming initiatives.
"While there were a few changes the Common Council made that I didn't agree with, as a whole, the 2021 budget is going to provide us with a majority of the tools and resources we need to move this city forward," Noble said.
