Chester Township faces 300000 shortfall forces broad budget cuts
Officials warn Chester Township may trim up to 40 percent across departments to cover a 300000 fiscal year shortfall. Measures include shrinking police staff, reducing funding to the volunteer fire company, cutting energy costs, and tightening overtime. Past administrations left unpaid bills and debt, complicating repayment of loans and taxes. Revenue from a new 1 percent earned income tax has been far below expectations, with only 67000 collected of 300000 projected and 4000 of 60000 in fines received. The township also reduced the workweek to 32 hours and curtailed most municipal expenses except payroll and utilities.
