2026 Municipal Budget introduction
Summary
The borough's 2026 budget failed to get adopted because no council member would second the adoption motion. The Mayor told the council to go back and rework it, and wants the DCA to advise on how to move forward. This could affect services and next year's tax bills if it stays unresolved.
