Cary’s new $579 million budget marks a 12.2% jump to fix years of underinvestment and rebuild trust after alleged fund misuse — funding 89 new police officers, faster fire response, 55 new town roles, and an 8% property tax hike — all part of a three-year plan to restore public safety and financial accountability starting July 1.
