LC Exec to Release Proposed Budget on Thursday

Lehigh County is always among the first, if not the first, Lehigh Valley municipality to release its spending plan for the upcoming year. If there's a tax hike in the financial forecast, voters should know it before casting their ballots.  

Executive Phillips Armstrong will release his proposed budget for next year on Thursday at 10 AM. 

Northampton County's proposed budget for 2022 will be released in early October. 

Budgeting is a tricky business for county government. About 2/3 of the revenue received comes from the state and federal governments. Their fiscal years begin in July and September.

  1. Maybe one day Northampton County can be as great as Lehigh County. Ron Angle could help us achieve that.

  2. will democrat Armstrong raise taxes again--because the democrats are doing such a good job at all levels of government we must keep voting for the left wing dems. That will asure us of continued success in destroying this country.

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.
