Councilman William Beale, who represents the first ward, stated, “As we continue to face an unprecedented public health emergency, we are met with fiscal and operational uncertainties in 2021. This year’s budget deliberations required tough decision making to maintain essential town services and programs.” He said town officials “have done our due diligence to our residents by crafting a spending plan that maintains our current tax rates, which are among the lowest per capita, in Dutchess County.” Fourth ward Councilman Al Casella said, “Our fiscally conservative and responsible budget that includes no tax rate increase to residents and keeps intact the services and programs we had planned in 2020 before COVID. In this budget, we succeeded in staying well below the state tax cap of 1.56 percent.” Cassella noted that if the financial climate improves, the town will revisit programs that were scaled back to avoid additional financial strain to the taxpayers.
