Lehigh County: Phil Armstrong to Release No-Tax Budget Tomorrow
Despite a pandemic that has caused most local governments to bleed money, Lehigh County Exec Phil Armstrong has just announced there will be no tax hike when he releases his 2021 Budget tomorrow.
I love his weekly updates, which you can see above.

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.
Cut spending,like everyone has to do. Just not the police. cut out all the bureaucrat free loaders.
ReplyDeleteI like this guy, and I'm looking forward to flu season and getting back to cancer, heart disease, stroke and the everyday democide around the world.
ReplyDeleteBut with a unmasked visible smile bigger than his and with a gentle tone to match, I say he can take those masks and shove it.

Pay attention to manufacture product warnings.
Upgrading equipment for the mail in ballots is very a positive move. Good job.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day Northampton County can be as great as Lehigh.
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't Northampton County get their budget released sooner like Lehigh County. I like there timeframe better.
ReplyDeleteNorCo releases its budget in accordance with its HRC, as LC does with its budget. I agree that sooner is better. That way if there is a tax hike, everyone knows well in advance of the election.
ReplyDeleteWith citizens and businesses circling the drain, it's no time to brag about a zero tax increase. To increase taxes would be heartless and irresponsible.
