Village of Bluffton discussing with residents about proposed income tax increase for safety services
The Village of Bluffton began their public discussions with residents about a proposal to increase income taxes for safety services. According to the Bluffton's 20-Year Safety Services Funding Forecast, just under $42 million of expenses will be needed by the village to support fire, EMS and police vehicles, capital items, and a Bluffton full-time EMS. On the flip side, 20-year projections only forecast a revenue just shy of $13 million leaving village administrators to come up for almost $29 million of funding. Thus, the village is looking to increase the income tax by 0.4% for Bluffton residents in order to keep up with current and future demands.
