Phases
Home Rule on the Ballot!
On November 5th Lancaster City voters will decide whether to adopt a Home Rule Charter for the City of Lancaster. The Sorace Administration is recommending Home Rule as a solution to help build a stronger, more equitable Lancaster. By adopting Home Rule, Lancaster could have more tools to control expenses and provide for other ways to raise revenues besides property taxes.
