When this reporter arrived at the October 27th meeting of the Mountain View school board, the boardroom was empty. The meeting was moved across the street to the high school auditorium, to accommodate a larger than normal crowd. Members of the crowd lined up outside the door to the school, some carrying picketing signs. When everyone finally filed into the auditorium and the meeting began, the board acknowledged why most of them were there, requesting that those present to discuss the fact finding please wait until after they conducted other board business. Mrs. Voigt noted that those who had signs could not display them during the meeting.

Harford’s Township budget will pass the half-million mark for the first time, in 2015.  The spending plan, worked over by the Supervisors on October 28th and being prepared for formal proposal in 2 weeks, anticipates expenditures totaling just over $508,000, about $130,000 more than for 2014, with no increase in property tax rates.

This second session of a 2-part budget workshop compared spending figures developed the week before with expected income.  All parts of the budget – township, state, sewer, and the newest section reflecting money available from the Act 13 “impact fees” from natural gas drilling in the township – are in balance.  The sewer budget, however, is strained.
