Council President Ralph DiGuiseppe said at last week’s meeting that the borough’s spending plan is still in the works, but that the budget doesn’t include a tax hike.
“We have a balanced budget right now with no tax increase. But I want everybody to have an opinion on it,” he said.
A budget work session is scheduled for Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. to allow council members and the public to go over the proposed budget.
