NorCo Exec Lamont McClure to Present 2023 Proposed Budget on Monday

From Northampton County:  Lamont McClure will present the 2023 Northampton County Budget at 2:00 PM on Monday, October 3, 2022 in Council Chambers at the Government Center, 669 Washington Street, Easton, PA 18042.

The media is encouraged to attend.

Blogger's Addendum: After McClure proposes his budget, County Council has three options. First, it can reject his proposal. If this happens, then what McClure proposed will become the Budget automatically. Second, it can adopt his budget wholesale. I've never seen this happen. Third, County Council can propose Amendments and then adopt the budget as amended. Historically, this is the route County Council has always taken. 

Under the Home Rule Charter, McClure must propose a balanced budget, at least in the sense that anticipated funds available must be the same or greater than expenses. 

Council must act on the budget on or before December 16.

    There is no respect for anything in our country as a result we are on a fast track to doom -- there is no way any politician or political party will save us. we will either become a 3rd world nation or a country dominated by China.

      A little off topic ? We elected our politicians it’s still WE THE PEOPLE maybe we all need to look in the mirror. What are you doing to make this country a better place to live ? If our country is doomed it’s because of people like you Don’t be so negative .

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.
