Lancaster County property taxes could be on the rise for the first time under the current county administration.
The proposed budget would increase taxes by about 9.3 percent, while allowing over two percent raises for employees and departmental cuts of over two percent.
Lancaster County Commissioner Dennis Stuckey says the tax hike isn't something he wants to do, but feels it's the best course of action.
His budget proposal is coming under fire by other chairmen, who are arguing that residents are already facing enough economic difficulties.
The budget will be presented to the public on December 10.
