According to a communication from the municipality, the city council asked the municipal assembly to increase the tax regime by one tenth of the tax to 1.75 units. However, one voter has called for the tax system to be raised by just half a tenth to 1.70 units. The municipal assembly followed it with a clear majority. Therefore, the excess expense in the overall budget for the following year amounts to CHF 1,110 million.
