Gusciora's administration introduces budget with no municipal tax increase
Mayor W. Reed Gusciora announced that Trenton will not need to raise municipal taxes in his 2022 proposed budget introduced to the Trenton City Council. The City transitioned from a fiscal year budget to a calendar year budget last year, so this budget proposal would represent an unprecedented 30-month stretch where the City did not need to raise the municipal portion of tax rates.
“This was a priority for me, and I know a priority for many Trentonians. Most importantly, we were able to preserve all City services,” said Mayor Gusciora. “We have to do more with less, no different than all of the families out there right now. We restricted new hirings, but at the same time we were able to increase pay for more than half of our workforce. We’re very proud of this budget and what it does for the Capital City residents." In spite of challenges that Trenton face, Gusciora's office touted increased recreational programs for kids, leveraging state and federal grant dollars, above 80% covid vaccination rates, a new neighborhood health center, demolition of over 200 abandoned and dilapidated properties, and an increase in capital city aid as part of his administration's first term accomplishments.
