No-tax-hike LP budget nearly official

The property tax rate assessed by Lower Paxton Twp. is slated to stay right where it is next year, according to a news brief filed by T.W. Burger of The Patriot-News.

Township administrators closed the budget gap during the last week from about $184,000 to just over $3,000, which is a miniscule amount in a $18.5 million spending plan.

The township's 2009 budget will be officially adopted next Tuesday during the Board of Supervisors meeting.
