Mansfield voters say they don't want to pay more in city income tax. The city's 0.25-percent income tax increase went down to defeat -- losing by more than 2,700 votes. The increase would have raised about $3 million annually to offset revenue losses and rising costs. "We're disappointed, we worked really hard and had hopes it would pass," Mansfield Service-Safety Director Lori Cope said. "Our goal at this point now is to just meet again Wednesday and review the budget. Basically the people have spoken and they made a decision it is their money. We're going to continue to be good stewards of their money and just make cuts where we need to," Cope said.
