James brings proven track record of city budget management - the only candidate that made cutting taxes part of his plans during Economic Forum of PBC debate

WEST PALM BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, February 13, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Keith James, city commissioner and mayoral candidate of West Palm Beach (WPB), today announces his plan to cut taxes without sacrificing essential services through proper oversight of the city budget and using increased revenues from upcoming projects.

Keith James’ plan will review the new tax revenue that will be coming into the city. In the next year, over $1 billion in new taxable property values will be coming into the city. He’s committed to using the new tax revenues to reduce property taxes without cutting services.

“Our economy in West Palm Beach is making a huge comeback. With these successes, we have an opportunity to save residents and property owners money. I am committed to NOT raising our tax rates, but actually rolling back our property tax rates once critical needs in our city are met,” stated James.

For eight years as City Commissioner and two of those years as president of the Commission, Keith James has helped guide West Palm Beach through lean economic times as the city struggled with falling property values due to the great recession. Keith is the only candidate for Mayor that has that experience with the city budget. During his time on the Commission, Keith has a proven record of accomplishments that have made West Palm Beach a more efficient, effective and budget conscious city, including;

Eight years of balanced city budget
Seven consecutive budget cycles of holding the line on property tax rates
Helped create the city’s first ever long-term strategy plan
Helped create the city’s 10-year budget and finance plan
Oversaw pension reform, saving taxpayers millions
Returned millions in city reserves, that were needed during the recession, without cutting services

Keith James’ budget experience will be important as the city works to manage the funding from the 1-penny sales tax. With 14 projects and nearly $60 million in improvements scheduled to be completed with the funds from the 1-Penny Sales Tax, James will ensure these projects are completed on time, within budget and with complete transparency.

Keith James is uniquely qualified, the most prepared and the only candidate with detailed plans to address the top issues across the city.

Vote for Keith James for mayor of Tuesday, March 12 to cut taxes and save money.
