Proposed $57 Million Municipal Budget Includes Slight Tax Increase, Money For Roads, Sidewalks

March 25, 2014 Township Council Taxes

3-24-14 meeting2 — Township Councilman Carl R.A. Wright said March 24 that the council needs to approve money to install sidewalks where children are walking to school in the street.

The proposed 2014 budget that will be presented to the Township Council next month includes a slight tax increase and money for street repaving and a controversial sidewalk construction plan.

Whether that $750,000 allocation for sidewalks on streets near Franklin Middle School survives in the budget that is finally adopted by the council remains to be seen. Mayor Brian Levine contends the township cannot afford it at all, and some council members want to see it decreased.
