Tabernacle Township budget at a halt
At last week’s meeting, the Tabernacle Township Committee presented the final budget, including decreases as discussed during April’s meeting. Committee Member Kimberly Brown was the sole vote of opposition on this resolution, putting a halt in moving forward to a public hearing for the budget.
At last month’s meeting, it was discussed for there to be a $5,000 decrease in the aid to the ambulance companies, taking the aid from $35,000 to $30,000. This made the now $23,000 decrease come as a shock to some, leaving $12,000 in squad funds.
Brown was concerned the decrease would result in residents being balanced billed, and therefore voted “no” to the resolution.
