Annual property taxes on an average O'ahu home would decrease by $18 next year, but average sewer fees would rise nearly $7 per month, under a new spending plan unveiled today by Mayor Mufi Hannemann.

His proposed $1.6 billion operating budget for the coming fiscal year would be nearly 10 percent larger than the current year's.

Hannemann called it a "no frills" plan that focuses on core city services and infrastructure, especially the aging sewer system.

"We are playing the price for decades of neglect," he said.
