Murrysville council will table a proposed ordinance that would allow it to raise its percentage of the earned income tax, citing confusion and misperception in discussions with residents.
“There’s a lot of misinformation going around about what this ordinance does,” Council President Dayne Dice said. “This ordinance would only enable council, at a later date, to raise the earned income tax by up to 0.5%.”
Enabling legislation merely empowers a government body to take a specific action, as opposed to enacting a tax hike simply by its passage.
