Salem mayor proposes income tax changes
SALEM Mayor Jerry Wolford made a proposal Tuesday to ease the city’s financial woes, but city council didn’t respond. Wolford suggested that the city end income-tax reciprocity with other communities. Reciprocity means that Salem — and many other communities — does not collect income tax on workers who pay income tax in another community, or from people who work in Salem but live and pay income taxes elsewhere. Salem has a 1 percent income tax. Other communities, Wolford said, give a 20 percent tax credit to people who must pay in two locations. Wolford said that eliminating the city’s ordinances on those two issues would generate $378,600 a year.
