What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Mount Joy Township Board of Supervisors voted to advertise a local services tax amendment, which could impose up to $52 annually on workers employed by businesses within the township. This measure is being considered as the township faces a revenue loss from the closure of Lancaster Landfill, whose tipping fees have dropped significantly.
