Resident says Maricopa County board cut overall budget 11% and lowered property tax rate every year
Summary
A speaker at a Maricopa County meeting said the county board reduced the overall budget by 11% and has lowered the property tax rate every year; the provided transcript segment includes the claim but no supporting documents or formal actions.
At a Maricopa County meeting, a resident said the county board had reduced the overall budget by 11% and lowered the property tax rate each year.
“What this county board is doing is reducing the overall budget by 11%. That's unheard of in government. We have lowered the property tax rate every single year,” a resident said in the provided transcript segment.
The statement appears in a single transcript excerpt and is presented as the speaker’s claim. The segment does not include any staff presentation, supporting figures, a motion, a vote, or a response from county officials; detailed budget documents, time frames for the claimed reductions, and the specific tax rate amounts were not specified in the provided text.
Because the excerpt contains only the speaker’s remarks, the claim that the board cut the overall budget by 11% and that the property tax rate has been lowered "every single year" is reported here as an attribution to the resident rather than as an independently verified fact. Further review of the county’s official budget documents or meeting minutes would be required to confirm the percentage described and to identify when and how any formal budget actions occurred.
No formal action or vote is recorded in the provided transcript segment.
