Phillipsburg’s 2021 budget holds taxes flat, as library faces funding crunch
Updated Apr 22, 2021;
Phillipsburg Town Council this week introduced a nearly $19 million 2021 budget that keeps municipal taxes flat for a second straight year.
Following pleas to boost spending for the Phillipsburg Free Public Library, council on Tuesday unanimously approved council President Frank McVey’s proposal to forego a pay raise for 2021 for its five members and Mayor Todd Tersigni. The elected officials took a 10% cut in salaries in 2020 versus 2019, and Tuesday’s vote keeps that cut in place.
McVey framed the election year reduction as a response to the continuing coronavirus pandemic: “We’re really not out of it yet,” he said.
