Commissioner Scott Metzger said he was proud of the county’s financial team, and that “everything’s gone up in price, and with the rising costs, the fund balance can only cover things for so long.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Metzger added that several nearby counties have raised their taxes this year, including Bradford, Montour, and Dauphin counties, which have respectively raised theirs by 1.64 mills, 1 mill, and 0.817 mills.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This is a breaking story. More details will be released at a later time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
