Montgomery County proposes 2027 budget with no county tax increase

The Montgomery County Commissioners Tuesday voted unanimously to propose a 2027 budget with no increase in county property taxes for the first time in several years. “This is a bipartisan budget with a simple bottom line: no proposed increase to county taxes. At a time when our residents are paying more for housing, transportation, childcare, healthcare, and everyday necessities, we have a responsibility to be just as disciplined with their tax dollars,” said Jamila H. Winder, commissioners’ chair.

After 60 years, Neshaminy Mall historic dioramas saved | Exclusive

Ten minutes. That’s how long it took to rescue the last three pieces of unique historical artwork from imminent destruction in Bucks County on Tuesday. Ten minutes after a week of careful planning, precise measuring and tricky demolition work necessary to free the large window-size dioramas in the now-closed Neshaminy Mall in Bensalem. The displays removed Nov. 10 were the last of seven animatronic dioramas depicting scenes from Colonial life during the American Revolution that were installed nearly 60 years ago as part of an intended permanent exhibit. With demolition of more than half of the mall property scheduled to start next month as part of a major mixed-use redevelopment of the property, Bensalem officials had pledged to save the last and most difficult to remove of the displays. Sally Van Sant Sondesky, founder and former president of the Bensalem Historical Society, was among the handful of onlookers Tuesday who got a close up view as they were removed. The scenes depicted William Penn signing a treaty with the Shackamaxon tribe; Ben Franklin’s 1785 return to Philadelphia from Paris and finally, the 1777-78 hiding of the Liberty Bell in Allentown. “You can’t do that anymore,” Van Sant Sondesky said of

Philly’s Black History, Revived

There wouldn’t be a Belmont Mansion in 2026 if there hadn’t been an Audrey Johnson-Thornton in 1985. More than 40 years ago, Johnson-Thornton looked at the abandoned property in West Fairmount Park and saw not a dilapidated structure on the road to demolition, but a piece of history in need of preservation. One year later, she and TV producer Gloria Penn Easton co-founded the American Women’s Heritage Society (AWHS), an assemblage of Black women, and, with the City of Philadelphia’s blessing, took charge of Belmont’s care.
