The Danbury City Council is being asked by the Mayor to approve a special tax relief ordinance to fix about 100 inequities.  At their meeting on Tuesday, Candlewood Lake shoreline resident Henry Stenick says his taxes went up 33-percent.

Maryanne Hau says taxes on her 1,200 square foot home with 60-feet of waterfront went up by about the same amount, $3,000.

Stenick says the City is driving older families out and would bring in young families with school aged children, which will cost the City. 

Mayor Boughton wrote in a letter to the Council that the state-mandated revaluation was the first since 2007 and the economic downtown which has resulted in some pockets of difficulty from some residents.

An ad hoc committee was formed to look into the issue.
