📰 News we're reading

• Earned Income Tax Approved In Yardley Borough (patch.com) — Yardley Borough Council has unanimously approved a new Earned Income Tax, aiming to stabilize the town's finances without raising already maxed-out property tax millage. Officials say the tax, adopted after months of public discussion and outreach, will grow with inflation and help cover essential services like police and stormwater management while addressing budget deficits.
   

• 'We Will Not Rest In Our Pursuit," Yardley Mayor Tells Racist Vandals (patch.com) — Yardley's mayor and borough council president are condemning antisemitic vandalism at Yardley Country Club and pledging full support for a thorough police investigation. Officials emphasize the borough's tradition of inclusion, praise the lead officer's investigative skills, and urge anyone with information to contact Yardley Borough Police so those responsible can be identified and residents can feel safe.
