Saugerties Times – 8.6.15 – by Sharyn Flanagan – “Despite a small increase in the Saugerties tax rate (from 29.78 to 29.98 cents per $1,000 of assessed value), voters on Sept. 3 will not see an increase in the amount of taxes they’re asked to contribute to the 2016 Saugerties Public Library budget. In fact, the library is asking for exactly the same amount in taxpayer support that it has for each of the previous three years: $521,964.”
