Borough Can Eliminate Compensation for Council

In a recent case decided by the Commonwealth Court, a borough ordinance enacted pursuant to Section 1001 of the Borough Code was upheld on Constitutional grounds. In Buckwalter v. Borough of Phoenixville No.1361 CD of 2007 (January 8, 2008) the ordinance was found to be valid and did not violate Article III, Section 27 of the Pennsylvania Constitution.
