\u201cI want to thank Council for their vote tonight,\u201d says Lamont McClure. \u201cNorthampton County is in the top ten of counties with the highest property tax burden in the Commonwealth and our residents are very concerned about inflation. This tax cut will provide our property owners with $8 million of tax relief.\u201d<\/p>\n

The vote to approve the cut of 1 mil in the 2022 Real Estate Tax passed by a vote of 8 to 1.<\/p>\n
