County budget to be unveiled tonight - will it include a tax hike?

The President of Allegheny County Council denies there will be a tax increase when the 2026 County budget is released today. Pat Catena says there have been rumors swirling for the past month and a half about a tax hike, which he has repeatedly said would not be the case. Federal cuts and the state budget uncertainty will impact the county's spending plans, but what's been put together is a flat line budget that is consistent with prior years.
