Democrats Pledge 20 Percent Tax Cut in Bucks County Platform
The Bucks County Democratic platform claims an average 20 per cent tax reduction by cutting unnecessary county staff and solicitors, eliminating elective offices, and streamlining operations. It accuses Republicans of tripling taxes from 5.7 to 16.4 mills since 1960 and warns of a further 5 to 6 mill rise next year. The plan favors public budget hearings, a county solicitor pool, appointment for former elective offices, and a Bucks County Port Corp to foster port development with state support.
