Tuerk's 2024 Allentown Budget Has A 6.9% Tax Increase

Tuerk unveils 2024 Allentown budget with 6.9% tax increase "The tax hike will generate about $2.6 million of revenue for the city's general fund and "will have a limited impact on the majority Allentown residents," according to the mayor.... The mayor also wants to spend more money on "celebrating the various cultures"

Some limited impact! I'm on Social Security. Celebrating culture. << THAT'S NOT YOUR JOB !!!

This guy can find more ways to waste money on social programs. These have nothing to do with providing city essential services.

Taxpayers at the federal and state levels are pouring bucketfuls of money already into this city. Apparently the $2 billion NIZ cash cow has done nothing for city taxpayers. A coupled million more dollars in state and federal grants hasn't either.

Talk about your incompetence.. this is madness!



UPDATE
11/04/2023: Allentown City Council approves budget with no tax increase for 2024
