Hanover Township is expected to adopt its 8th consecutive no-tax hike budget next week. Hard as this might be to believe, it is in a tie with Lower Nazareth, which last night approved its 8th no-tax hike budget in a row.
Both townships have no long-term debt. Both also use a regional police department. Both have fiscally conservative Township Managers.

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.
Yet donchez raised fees, raised taxes for the second year in a row and kept the "Hirko tax" on the books. Flunking leadership and management 101.
ReplyDeleteHanover has a fiscally conservative ethical manager. Bethlum Township should take Lower Nazareth's and Hanover lead. Lower's should pick up the ethical part from Hanover.
ReplyDeleteHanover proves the good old boy system can work. Finnegan was a supervisor and then conveniently became manager. Those boys are good at covering for each other.
ReplyDeleteEaston just passed a no tax increase budget. Donchez try talking to mayors and managers who know what they are doing.
ReplyDeleteEaston isn't permitted by law to increase it's millage. It has the highest real estate taxes in the Lehigh Valley. Fees have been raised steadily each year. Panto bragging about no tax increases is not telling the whole, sad story of the tax and fee structure in Easton.
