Residents in Mt. Pleasant Township haven't seen an increase in real-estate taxes in more than 60 years.
This week, supervisors didn't break that tradition.
Township residents will once again be spared an increase in taxes in 2009.
Supervisors this week passed a proposed budget that keeps the millage rate at 2.42 mills.
The budget is balanced with revenues and expenditures at $1.4 million.
Caprice Mills, the township's secretary and treasurer, said most of the township's revenue comes from real estate and earned income taxes. The largest expenses include payroll, insurances and maintenance.
Mills said the township hopes falling gas prices is a trend that will continue into 2009.
"We did put in a slight increase in case the insurances are higher than they were this year, but there is really no way of knowing what will happen," Mills said.
Supervisors this week also approved a motion to release the excess road bond to Kriebel Resources in the amount of $10,000 for usage of Hutter Farm Road.
