SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The Salt Lake City Council says it isn't ruling out the possibility of a property-tax increase to fill an $18 million budget hole.
Council Chairman JT Martin says all options are on the table.
The comments come despite Mayor Ralph Becker's plans not to raise any taxes in his proposed $186 million budget. Becker's budget calls for service cuts and layoffs.
The council will spend the next six weeks completing a spending plan.
Becker consistently has vowed to avoid a tax hike, opting instead for fee increases and early retirement offers.
