Lebanon Mayor Proposes Property Tax Increase

Lebanon City residents may experience a property tax increase for the first time in over a decade. Mayor Sherry Capello has proposed a 2027 budget that includes a one millage rate point increase, which would cost property owners at least $100 more per month if their homes are valued over $100,000. The mayor stated that the increase is necessary due to declining property values, which could lead to a loss in tax revenue.

York County SPCA $4M campaign to expand cramped veterinary facility

A $4 million fundraising campaign will help alleviate bottlenecks in the York County SPCA veterinary facility and ultimately increase the save rate of animals passing through the York County SPCA, according to Executive Director Steven Martinez. For the thousands of animals who have passed through the York County SPCA's veterinary department since the building was built in 2006, the area is surprisingly small. During a tour of the current facility on Nov. 10, 2026 , Martinez described how the organization has to house recovering animals in the hallway of the mostly windowless, cramped facility. Three small rooms, with one table each, serve as the examining room, surgery room and recovery room. The organization employs two veterinarians. The single examining room table, which also doubles as a dental procedure table , "also serves as the lunch table for the medical team because they don't have any spaces to eat their lunch, so that's pretty gross," Martinez said. The room also houses a pharmacy Martinez described as consisting of "cheap plastic cabinets" and the only desk for administrative work in the medical department. During the tour, a veterinarian was using the examining table as a computer workstation. More: See pets available for

It is the first time all three branches in Harrisburg have been blue at once since the first year of Bill Clinton's presidency.
