The Bridgeville town commissioners voted this week to keep their 20 percent increase in property taxes.
The vote was 3-to-1.
A local resident Barbara Devine began a petition after the town approved the tax hike in late May which went into effect on July 1st.
Local reaction started when residents saw their property taxes increases by 40 cents per $100 of assessed property value as well as a hike in their water fees.
After the vote Devine told WBOC that she felt the three commissioners who voted to keep the increase appeared to be dismissive of residents’ concerns.
