New Budget, No New Taxes

Hendersonville's Board of Mayor and Aldermen gave approval to the 2013-14 budget which includes raises for most city employees.  The budget does not require a tax increase.  The raise for the Mayor, originally slated for a 30% increase, was whittled down to 6% -- or roughly $4000 -- enough to boost the Mayor's pay to just over $90,000.  Foster will still make less than Gallatin Mayor Jo Ann Graves, who earns $111,000 a year.
