WB Mayor Trousil Throws Tantrum, Won’t Sign Budget

In spite of Mayor’s outburst, WB Property Tax Levy to drop 5-cents.

Mayor Hans Trousil was outraged when the City Council voted 3 to 2 to lower the city tax levy a WHOLE NICKEL. The Mayor just doesn’t want to give WB taxpayers even the slightest of breaks. In the end, Mayor Trousil was backed into a corner, if he vetoed the budget, the levy would have dropped even more than 5-cents the council cut and he wasn’t about to give taxpayers any more of a break. But he did write his version of ‘The Sky is Falling’ letter to the City Council.
