ROCK ISLAND, Ill. In the 2021 State of the City address, Mayor Mike Thoms spoke to several topics concerning how COVID-19 and other challenges changed city operations going into 2021.
Thoms began with a brief foreword lamenting the many and varied losses felt by every member of the community, before moving on to a notable piece of policy.
The city was previously considering a slight 6+% increase in propety tax, but feedback and a cutting of expenses is allowing the city to meet budget goals without needing the tax. Thoms notes that this is at the cost of lowering the amount of city employees to below 2019 numbers and stopping the cost of personnel from increasing.
