Affordable housing forces dug in Thursday
against Mayor R.T. Rybak's plan to phase
out a property-tax levy dedicated to
community development and affordable housing.
Collections for the fund would total
$4 million this year, but drop to
$2 million in 2004 and fall to zero in
2005, under the plan Rybak and council
leaders are pushing.
Eliminating the levy will be considered
as part of a proposal to cut $55 million
from the city budget within the next five
years. The plan came out of a city group
charged with developing a long-term
financial strategy.
