FREEHOLDERS PASS NEW BUDGET IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY

A new budget was agreed to in Cumberland County this week. A vote took place on Tuesday to approve a budget that would increase the local tax rate by about four cents, but would keep the same tax levy as last year. The new tax rate comes in just over 90 cents per $100 assessed valuation. The county library is going to remain open, even though the department has taken several significant cuts.
