We used our editorial page today to note a story that likely flew under the radar for far too many people this week, yet very well could be the most important story in the state.
A Montgomery County judge's ruling should send shivers down the spine of ever school board member, not only here in the Philly suburbs, but across the state.
In short, he ordered the Lower Merion School District to rescind a 4.4 percent tax hike and all but suggested they were being dishonest with taxpayers, projecting deficits for years to defend tax increases when in fact they were stashing money in reserve funds.
It could have far-reaching effects on how school boards put together their budgets.
