Westmoreland County Commissioners are preparing for the worst in case the state budget impasse continues.
The Trib reports that the Commissioners worked on ways to keep essential programs and services working on the local level. Officials will rely on a blueprint enacted during the nine-month state budget impasse from 2015 and into 2016 that halted the flow of funds into county government. That plan included the creation of a priority system for payments to service providers, and some service cuts. Those included the temporary closings of several senior centers, halting of purchases, restrictions on travel and other financial limits on nonessential programs.
