Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Chester County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Tax Reduction
Honey Brook Township is looking at cutting the local open-space income tax by a massive 80%, which would put some extra cash back in residents' pockets. If it passes, your next tax bill could actually look a little lighter.
Intermediate Punishment Treatment Programs and Grant Funding
The county updated its sentencing alternative program, backed by $500,000 in grant funding, to divert nonviolent offenders and certain driving-under-suspension cases to electronic monitoring.
