Tax Levy limit

In light of some of the editorials coming out recently (last week's Worcester Magazine and this Sunday's Nick Kotsopolos column), a few facts on Worcester's tax levy may be in order:

Worcester is 3^rd in “excess capacity” which is the dollars under the levy limit.

Cambridge is first at $96 million under.

Marlborough and Worcester are both $12+ million under.

Waltham is 4^th at $8 million under.

In % under the limit, we are ranked 26^th.
