The Vincennes City Council plans to petition the board of Local Government Finance for an increase in its maximum tax levy. The Council’s financial advisor, Ben Rager advised the council that the city was shorted $500,000 in the 2012-13 levy. In a memo to the council, Rager stated an error in calculating property values led to artificially higher rates meaning less revenue coming into the city. Rager says the city has two years in which to file an appeal. He says the worst case scenario would be some residents might end up paying an additional $24. Council voted 5-to-2 to file an appeal, with Tim Salters and Ashley Morrison opposed.
