Earlier this month, Saratoga Springs Finance Commissioner Minita Sanghvi presented a $54 million budget plan for 2023.
It was the first municipal budget for the first-term Democrat.
While the proposed budget includes more revenue than the 2022 spending plan, the budget also includes an average tax increase of 3.72%, which is attributed in part to the rising costs of employee benefits and the construction of a new fire station on the city’s east side.
Sanghvi spoke with WAMC's Lucas Willard about the spending plan and proposed tax increase.
