Gainesville City Council approved a tax increase at its Tuesday meeting.
Gainesville City Council voted 4-2 Tuesday to approve a property tax increase to pay off debt and support local parks. Council members Sam Couvillon and George Wangemann dissented, and Mayor Danny Dunagan cast the fourth vote necessary to break the impasse. “I would like for us as a council to try to find some cuts in the budget,” Couvillon said.
