Many Manheim Township residents are “concerned” about the size of the community’s deficit, new township Commissioner Dave Heck said.
And the commissioners, the township’s decision-making board, need “to start immediately” to look for ways to chop that $3.2 million deficit way down, Heck said.
The other commissioners agreed, voting this week to take the unusual step of reopening their township’s already approved 2012 budget.
Hoping to find ways to reduce that deficit, the five-member board voted Monday to take a new look at the 2012 spending plan.
