TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa City Council voted 4-3 on Tuesday night against a proposed millage increase proposed by Mayor Jane Castor last month.
Castor asked for the increase in the city's 2024 budget to fund road repairs. It would have cost homeowners about $20 more a month.
In the meeting that went on past midnight, several residents and even some city council members pushed back on the increase.
It's been a hot topic for debate in the city for weeks now.
The city council will meet again on Wednesday, September 13 at 3 p.m., to rework the budget proposal so that a millage increase is not needed.
