Luzerne County is facing a projected $10 million year-end deficit because last year’s budget contained some unrealistic revenue projections, county officials said Tuesday.

That’s after the budget was infused with about $18 million from the bond that had been challenged by former Wilkes-Barre activist Tim Grier.

County commissioners plan to vote today to investigate debt restructuring and a back-tax collection program, though they don’t know if that will be enough.
