earned income tax increase for fire/EMS funding
Summary
Newlin Township is considering raising its local earned income tax from 0.5% to 0.6% to fund fire and EMS services. That’s a 20% hike in the local rate, and it would come straight out of workers’ paychecks. A public hearing Monday is the public’s chance to weigh in before it moves forward.
