Voters will decide again this fall whether town officials can set their own budget priorities or if the town will follow a state-mandated budget.
Since 1981, the town’s voters have approved home rule for the town, granting an expanded budgeting ability to the town council.
“Voting for or against home rule has nothing to do with tax rates,” Deputy Town Manager Ryan Judy reminded attendees at the first of two public hearings April 14. “It will not increase or decrease any tax rates in Prescott Valley.”
