BROOKFIELD - - In response to the worst economy in decades, First Selectman Steve Dunn says he is trying to get as low a tax increase as we can for the fiscal year that starts in July, because times are bad.
Dunn, a third-term Democrat, related that he is asking all of the [municipal] departments to come in with a zero increase on the operating side – but acknowledged that there will be salary increases and, for example, the Police Department will have to purchase body cameras to conform with a new law.
