Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton is proposing a $505 million budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The mayor calls it a strong solid budget with a ‘can do’ theme.
The mayor’s budget, calling for no new taxes, represents $42 million in new revenue. Gorton said she’s confident it would hold up to any recessionary pressure, adding Lexington has a diverse economy. The spending plan includes money for a real-time public safety intelligence center that combines information from flock license plate readers and video from traffic cameras.
