📰 News we're reading

• Property tax in Lower Burrell holds; rate increases to be considered next month (triblive.com) — Lower Burrell homeowners will see city property taxes stay flat next year, but sewage and recycling bills are likely to rise in 2026 if council approves proposed rate hikes in January. The newly approved $12 million budget funds stormwater projects, road paving, and support for fire and EMS while passing through higher regional wastewater and recycling contract costs to residents.
