Borough forms subcommittee to explore tax relief options
Mayor Timothy Barth will appoint a burgess subcommittee tonight to study alternatives to his failed tax collection plan after the Nov. 12 vote. The group will seek ways to offset a property tax rise tied to the 10 year revaluation and may review selling liens in parts or wholly. Kogut and Croce offered to join and study options with a bipartisan aim, presenting findings by April 1 and possibly asking the Legislature to extend the October deadline if needed.
