Some Upper Darby Township residents are seeking an injunction against the township regarding its planned earned income tax (EIT). Four township residents asked Common Pleas Court to stop Mayor Ed Brown and the township council from implementing changes to the tax ordinance until legal questions are answered. The legal questions stem from a March 14 lawsuit the group filed claiming Ordinance 3185 failed to comply with procedures set forth in the Home Rule Charter. The residents filed a 10-day notice injunction against the township because officials never replied to the lawsuit and then claimed they were never properly served notice.
