Judge rules township council failed to follow procedure in approving tax
A court ruling has stopped Upper Darby Township from enacting its planned earned income tax, for the upcoming year., according to reporting in the Daily Times
In a recent ruling, Common Pleas Judge Spiros E. Angelos invalidated the township’s Sept. 4 ordinance that enacted the EIT because it violated the township’s home rule charter.

Angelos wrote in his ruling that the ordinances were made at the first of two September meetings, which are intended to be a workshops where final action is reserved for emergency situations.
