Clark Town Council Faces Hefty Health Care Cost Increases

Overview: The most recent meeting of the Clark Town Council was dominated by discussions of a significant projected increase in township health care costs, which could lead to a substantial tax hike for residents. The potential $800,000 rise in expenses is anticipated to result in a 12 tax point increase, a burden that may be exacerbated by Union County’s participation in the state health benefits plan. Despite these challenges, council members remained committed to fiscal responsibility and minimizing the impact on taxpayers.
