This is a tale of two counties.
Yesterday morning in Norristown, a huge crowd turned out to protest budget cuts included in Montgomery County’s proposed budget.
For three hours, residents urged commissioners not to cut funding for county libraries, parks and Montgomery County Community College. All those proposals are included in the budget due to a $40 million shortfall.
Last night, Delaware County Council held its public hearing on their spending plan, which includes the first tax hike in years. The 2.3 percent increase will cost the average homeowner an additional $16.
Exactly one person showed up. You can read out story here.
A Tinicum man indicated people are for the most part “satisfied” with the job council is doing.
Apparently a lot more satisfied that the folks in Montgomery County.
