Something on the Horizon in Northumberland County???

In Sunday's Daily-Item, an article talks about a raise for 100 non-union employees being delayed until a judges lawsuit is heard. The board of commissioners and the president judge are about $600,000 apart in their respective budget.

The last paragraph of the article was strange. To quote:

Refusing to cite a specific department, board Chairman Frank Sawicki said unexpected expenses “on the horizon” are keeping the board from voting on the pay raises.
