Letter to the editor: County tax hike 1 more slap in the face

Tribune-Review | Tuesday, January 23, 2024 9:00 a.m.

Wow! A 32.5% property tax hike passed on to Westmoreland County residents a week after county commissioners gave themselves and other elected officials raises. Not a good look. Three days before Christmas, no less.

And speaking of elected officials, I bet the public would be interested to know that some row officers don’t even come to work every day. You read that right. For anywhere from $50,000 to $90,000 a year, the people who were voted in are free to choose not to come to work.

If that’s not a slap in the face to voters, I don’t know what is.
