WYANET – After much discussion and disagreement, the Wyanet Village Board finally decided on its 2013 tax levy.

Four different motions were made before the board agreed to keep the levy the same as in 2012 which was $112,355. The final vote was 4 to 1 with Trustee Tom Smith casting the only no vote.

The board could have raised the levy by up to 4.98 percent for a total up to $117,958, but the board could not agree on an amount. Trustee Marilyn Johnson explained why she did not want to raise taxes, saying, “We, as a board, need to learn to make cuts and save money instead of spend, spend, spend.”
