The East Rockaway Village Board adopted a tax rate of $1.85 per $100 of assessed valua-tion
raising the tax rate only 17 cents over last year. After weeks of intensive study and meet-ings
with the various departments, the board was able to lop off 47 cents from the proposed tax
rate of $2.15 per $100 of assessed valuation that they had originally set.
