Budget passed

-Mckees Rocks-
McKees Rocks councilmembers found a temporary fix to the contentious issue of staff raises by adopting a preliminary budget Jan. 2 that froze non-union salaries at the 2019 level until further discussion.
The preliminary budget requested raises exceeding six percent for the manager, building inspector and code enforcer. In the face of pressure from outgoing councilwoman Maribeth Taylor and several vocal residents, the council voted unanimously to pass the budget while delaying approval of the raises.
Council was originally expected to pass the budget at a meeting called for 8 a.m. on Dec. 31, however, it had to be rescheduled for Jan. 2 when a quorum was not reached.
