New Boston city leaders refute claims of improper spending in regards to proposed tax increase

Rumor and innuendo were put to rest as New Boston residents addressed the council with concerns regarding the proposed tax increase and city budget at public hearings Tuesday.

The New Boston City Council welcomed citizens to openly voice their concerns regarding the approval of a three cent tax increase and the city’s operating budget for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. The meeting was moved from the council chambers to the city recreation center because of the size of the audience.

It appeared that many comments were based on rumors and a spread of inaccurate information.
