Tredyffrin Township's Board of Supervisors are scheduled to begin hearing from the public on a proposed 2013 township budget Monday night.

As politicians in Harrisburg wrangle over Governor Corbett's proposed $27.1B state budget, school board members in the Tredyffrin/Easttown School District must wrestle with reaching a balanced budget by June.
