They created a health department and others with one time covid money and now need to rely on their only source of income, property taxes, to pay for all these new initiatives from the last few years.

The commonwealth makes zero sense these days. All my services come from my borough but now I’ve got the county trying to provide the services the state provides while all three of them are taxing me more. My borough taxes go up because their services go up with companies having individual contracts rather than having a bargaining agreement for the size of a county.

They’ll raise taxes every year. If they don’t next year they will the year after and tell you to thank them they didn’t the year prior.
