Skippack Supervisors Chairman Mark Marino declared Skippack Township in "good fiscal shape" during November's 2012 proposed budget presentation, which showed no tax increase for the township.
Supervisor Bill Parkins speculated it had been decades since residents had had a township tax hike.
The budget (see PDF) shows $3,080,950 in revenue and $3,029,337 in expenditures; both are nearly 30 percent changes from last year.

Other expenditures for the township include the electronic signs for Routes 73 and 113 (for public information), new construction of bathroom at Hallman Grove park and an extension of proposed Skippack walking trails.
