TAX INCREASE RECEIVES FINAL APPROVAL IN UPPER TOWNSHIP

Residents will have to pay property taxes in Upper Township. Officials there made it official on Monday by passing a new budget on second reading that includes a 9.3 cent tax. Expenses for the town have been rising past the amount the town is able to afford under the Energy Receipts Tax. This creates a tax rate, but officials do not feel taxes will go up significantly in coming years.
