SECTIONS
GLOVERSVILLE The Common Council voted 5-2 Tuesday night to amend the city’s personnel policy to include a “separation package” providing a 90-days-of-pay severance check and health insurance coverage to the city’s appointed officers who have served longer than one year.
If a new mayor in January 2022 were to change personnel for each of the appointed positions, under the new policy it would cost the city an estimated $100,135 worth of severance pay to replace those positions, not counting the cost of maintaining the health insurance for those officials.
Economists back study that found Detroit still inflating property taxes
Detroit A coalition fighting for fairness in property tax assessments joined with economists, legal and finance scholars Thursday to call for state and city leaders to investigate the ongoing inaccuracy and inequity in property tax assessments in Detroit.
The Coalition for Property Tax Justice contends multiple studies have found the lowest-valued homes in Detroit continue to be overassessed even after a citywide reappraisal in 2017 that cost $8.4 million and it s putting thousands of Detroiters at risk of unjust foreclosure.
Tom Perriello, executive director of the Open Society Foundations, a human rights advocacy group, said it s beyond disputable fact that inflated property taxes is a national problem that is specifically well-documented in Detroit.
