Raising taxes is always a discussion of both good and bad and Murfreesboro is not immune to tax hikes. Over the years, city council members have tried to keep taxes from going up for residents, but there is only so much of that which can be done, according to Murfreesboro Mayor Shane McFarland...
Earlier this year the city council voted to up the tax rate by about 35%.
The council is now in discussions to sell Murfreesboro Electric to Middle Tennessee Electric. WGNS will continue to follow taxes and the idea of selling the city owned electric company.
