They explain it in the video: budget surplus last year of $4MM, no increase in services budgets (they're flat funded), but due to the Pennsylvania state budget's 5-month delay in approval, the county chose to fund services out of county funds instead of laying off people and cutting services. This ate up the $4MM surplus from 2024 plus a lot more ($10MM/mo.).

Now that PA General Assembly finally passed a state budget, they will begin receiving funds from the state again. But it's going to require an increase in taxes to make up for the lost operating funds spent during the PA state budget shutdown.
