Esquesing council mulls record tax hike in 19th century township
Esquesing faces a proposed 30.69 mill rise in the public school rate and a 4.38 to 5.93 mill increase in the high school levy, which would lift overall taxes by about 19.40 mills in Milton, 17.19 in Georgetown, and 13.35 in Acton areas. Council rejects the school board budget and asks for a meeting to pare it, while debating road costs, trailer park plans, and zoning discussions for future development.
