Good morning, Arlington Heights.
🏛️ Government
On Monday, Arlington Heights village board members approved a new 5% streaming tax on homeowners' subscriptions to help pay for six new paramedics on a fifth fire department ambulance—voters also kept the 1% grocery tax to stave off an 8.25% property tax hike.
The new tax will cost residents about $41 per year for services with commercials and $61 without while expected annual revenues of roughly $480,000 will cover part of the ambulance staffing costs and recapture $175,000 from reduced mutual aid fees.
