MIDDLETOWN, CT Middletown Mayor Ben Florsheim said he is proposing an essentially flat budget for 2021-22 and is looking to deliver a small tax reduction for residents similar to last year.
Florsheim delivered his budget address Thursday evening and said the proposal is very similar to last year s budget, calling it essentially flat, with services kept level and contractual obligations honored. We made some minor funding increases in some departments related to long-term investments and pandemic response; we found efficiencies and made modest cuts in others, Florsheim said. Last year, we delivered a small tax reduction averaging about $40 per household, and this year, we ll be seeking a small increase of about the same amount.
