Commission Can Start Writing Home Rule Proposal

(Lancaster, PA) -- A city commission has been given the okay to start writing a new charter to propose Home Rule in Lancaster. The Home Rule Study Commission agreed by a vote of seven to one Wednesday night to spend the next nine months writing the proposal for the new charter. Last year, residents voted to approve a referendum to learn more about the possibility for this kind of governance for Lancaster. Right now, the city is restricted by state control over issues such developing new ways to raise revenue, other than increasing property taxes.
