					<description><![CDATA[Tampa City Councilman Harry Cohen warned the city&#8217;s  budget vote Friday will have long-term effects. Cohen&#8217;s compromise proposal to have the Council vote on raising the millage rate by 0.475 broke a seven-hour stalemate just after midnight Friday morning on Mayor Bob Buckhorn&#8216;s fiscal year 2018 budget. Later in the day, Cohen said the ramifications of that vote will be with the city over the next four to eight years.

					<description><![CDATA[Shortly after midnight Friday morning, the Tampa City Council voted 4-3 to raise property taxes for the first in 29 years. The vote will raise the millage to 0.475, from $5.73 to 6.2076 per $1,000 of assessed property value. It came after seven long hours, which included two breaks for budget director Sonya Little and her financial team to go recalculate how differed proposed rate increases would affect Mayor Bob Buckhorn&#8216;s proposed $900 million-plus budget. The board voted last week&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On Thursday morning, Tampa City Council members will hold a budget workshop just hours before they could possibly vote on the first property tax increase in 29 years. Last week, Councilmembers narrowly approved (by a 4-3 vote) to increase the millage rate from $5.73 to $6.33 per $1,000 of assessed property value. That could add $105 to the average homeowner’s tax bill. There is also the possibility that they won’t vote to raise taxes, which would only increase the city&#8217;s deficit further&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With less than two weeks before the new fiscal year begins, Tampa&#8217;s City Council voted Monday night to advance a budget raising property taxes for the first time in 29 years. However, the increase would not be as much as originally proposed by Mayor Bob Buckhorn. The Council opted to support the $974.2 budget plan which raises the millage rate from $5.7326 to $6.3326 per $1,000 of assessed value.  The increase was the lesser of two alternatives that budget director&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Tampa City Council is scheduled to vote on raising property taxes for the first time in almost three decades next week, but the size of that tax remains unknown less than a month before next year&#8217;s budget goes into effect. Mayor Bob Buckhorn informed the Council in July that because of a confluence of events, the millage would need to be raised in the coming year nearly a full point, from 5.7326 to 6.6326. The increase would cost owners with&#8230;]]></description>
