Lancaster County Commissioners took until the last day of the year, but passed a budget on Monday. The budget features the first tax hike in several years.
The budget was passed by a 2-1 vote, with Commissioner Scott Martin voting against the budget.
Martin told CBS 21 he was disappointed in the tax hike, which will be 9.3 percent. He added that the tax burden is only going to get worse with what is coming out of Washington.
“We should have done a bit more on our end instead of putting it on taxpayers,” Martin said.
Martin has spoken to several Lancaster County residents, and many are upset with the tax increase, which the Commissioner understands.
