Palmer Township Votes To Join NIZ Litigation

Although I was in Hanover Township, I've received word that Palmer Township Supervisors have voted to join the NIZ legal challenge, Palmer is the third governing body this week to question Allentown's EIT tax grab. According to an Express Times report, the vote was unanimous

There are now a dozen governing bodies involved, in one way way or another, in a constitutional attack aimed at Allentown's Neighborhood Improvement Zone. With Hanover and Bethlehem Townships acting as the spearhead, other participants include Bushkill, Lower Nazareth, Lower Saucon, Lehigh, Palmer, South Whitehall, Whitehall Townships, Hellertown and Stockertown Boroughs and Whitehall-Coplay School District.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
