Westmoreland commissioners approve budget with no tax hike

The coronavirus has been good for Westmoreland County’s bottom line.
Commissioners on Thursday unanimously approved a $339.7 million budget for 2021 that does not raise property taxes in part because federal covid relief money held back to pay for personnel and other expenses related to the ongoing pandemic.
Property taxes will remain at 21.49 mills, a figure set last year by the outgoing board of commissioners that represented a 2.4% increase and the first tax hike in 15 years.
“Our goal this year was obviously with unemployment being so high and people being sick with covid is making sure we did not have a tax increase in 2020,” said Commissioner Sean Kertes. “We’re just trying to alleviate the burden off of the taxpayer as much as possible, and that’s what we accomplished as a core group here.” ....
