Mahoning Township weighs 2016 tax hike plan
Mahoning Township may raise property taxes in 2016 to cover a shortfall in a budget showing expenses of 2,519,525 and revenue of 2,473,269. The general fund projects 1,560,354 in expenses and 1,548,794 in revenue with a carryover of 345,958 overall and 38,300 in the general fund. The board eyes a possible one to two mill increase as costs rise from insurance workers comp and fire department coverage amid uncertain impact fees from oil and gas activity and delayed state budget approvals. Final adoption is set for 9 a.m. Tuesday with timber sales and a 100,000 tax anticipation loan approved.

Wolf sticks to budget deal amid new GOP demand
Gov. Tom Wolf voiced continued commitment to the budget framework he struck with top lawmakers as House Republicans moved a smaller spending plan. The second collapse of a budget pact in a month raises fears of a prolonged stalemate, with layoffs rising as social services halt programs and Philadelphia School District borrows 525 million. Wolf said he will not attend Pennsylvania Society events in New York if no budget is enacted and declined further concessions, underscoring the need to stay local and press for a resolution.
