Municipal taxes for Newtown Township residents will remain flat in 2013.

The Newtown Township Board of Supervisors on Wednesday approved a $11 million budget. 

The budget passed by a 3-2 vote with Phil Calabro and Rob Ciervo voting against it.

The tax millage for township residents will remain at 2.5 in 2013.

The budget leaves the municipality with approximately $820,000 in its fund balance. A large chunk of that fund balance -- $550,000 -- is the result of the planned sale of a township easement on a cellphone tower.
