Faced with a $4.2 million budget deficit, the Newark City Council will place a 3.9 percent utility tax on the November ballot. If approved by the voters the 3.9 percent tax will be applied to electricity, gas, telephone and cable television services. Revenue from the tax will pay for police and fire protection and other basic city services including street and park maintenance. Newark city staff claim the tax will generate approximately $2.6 million annually. Bay East has not yet taken a position supporting or opposing the tax.
