One of Mayor Hussa’s campaign promises in 2007 was to bring tax relief. The table on page 2 of The HUB Times Newsletter summarizes tax relief achieved by combining positions or by doing with volunteers what had previously been done with employees. Noted savings include salaries and health benefits. All numbers are rounded. Shared services salary savings are included in this chart. The $1.8 million tax dollar savings represents salaries only. Savings in "operating expenses" and from "grants received" will be detailed in future HUB Times editions.
