Friday, May 22, 2026

The Henderson City Council held a special meeting to discuss the upcoming budget, which faces an $11 million gap between revenues and expenditures. The finance director explained the deficit is due to increased operational costs, past pay raises, and a reliance on fund balance, rather than new revenue streams. Public commenters expressed concerns about potential property tax increases and urged the council to prioritize responsible spending and economic development.
