Borough Taxes to Increase

For the first time since 2005, Nazareth Borough taxes will increase in 2010 by 7.8% according to an article in the Express-Times (read it here).

While now is hardly the time to be hiking taxes, given the long hold, increased police staff, and costs, it isn’t unexpected, but will be tough for many none-the-less.

The police department added two full-time officers, plus one full-time deputy chief, (going from five to eight full-time) according to the article, and as I recall they also bought new uniforms, computer equipment, had bikes refurbished, and I’m sure there were many other equipment based items.
