The Altoona Mirror reports that the board approved the $8 million budget for 22-23, with a deficit of slightly more than $500,000. The tax hike amounts to .2 mills, which is expected to generate an additional $45,000, which will take the deficit under $500,000. The board had originally proposed a .4 mill increase, which would have produced $90,000, but decided to go with half of that.
