Taxpayers angry with county shortfall

Taxpayers blasted Luzerne County Commissioners for more than an hour Wednesday for failing to detect corruption and contemplating a property tax increase.

“I say no tax increase – no more money from us until we get some answers, until we get accountability,” said Harveys Lake property owner Michelle Boice.

Like others in the audience, Boice questioned how the county ended up paying two New York companies – one with an address and ownership shrouded in mystery and the other for a $35,000 background procedure study that can’t be found.
