Portsmouth may not raise the real estate tax this year but they have the boat tax. It has gone up to 50 cents per $100 of assessed value. There are about 3,025 boats still docked in the city. That is only down about 100 from last June. The tax bills are just starting to go so we will soon see if more boats have have the city. It doesn't seem like much but when you have a $1million boat it can add up quick.

Finally the Portsmouth Police Department is getting some training on handling the mentally ill. The idea is for the officers to have training to deal with people that have mental problems. The police can maybe identify someone who is mentally ill and deal with that person rather then putting them in jail where they may not belong. There is also a Safe Haven program that is staffed by mental health officials where police can drop off non violent offenders. Virginia Beach and Chesapeake are also looking into the same type of program.
