Council begrudgingly approves budget, 13% tax increase

The St. Petersburg City Council approved a new budget and a 13% millage rate increase Thursday, but not before issuing some choice words for Mayor Ken Welch regarding Albert Whitted Airport.

Assistant City Administrator Tome Greene presented the final FY23 municipal budget proposal to council members during Thursday’s meeting. He explained the proposed millage rate - the amount used to levy property taxes - is 6.525% and represents a 13.07% increase. It would generate about $178.8 million and provide a year-over-year addition of $20.5 million in revenue.
