Lebanon city officials propose first tax hike in more than a decade

Lebanon City officials are considering a $19.7 million preliminary budget for 2027 that will include a nearly 22% tax increase, the first for residents in more than a decade. Officials are recommending a one mill tax increase, raising the city's millage rate to 5.581 mills. This proposed rate would raise the current total real estate tax revenue to $4.6 million, representing an $818,845 increase in revenue for the city. Mayor Sherry Capello said that after carefully evaluating the city's financial obligations, operational needs, and available resources, she proposed the tax increase to address the city's present needs while protecting long term financial stability. "I did everything I could to not raise taxes for as long as I could, thinking of people's pockets," she told the Lebanon Daily News after the hearing. "But then there comes a time when when you're like 'We have limited staffing and resources' and we also have a responsibility in order to maintain or improve the level of service to the residents and businesses ... it's going to take more money to do that." The owner of a property with an average assessed value of $104,350 would pay the city $582, which is a $103 increase

This Enchanting Pennsylvania Mansion Looks Like It Belongs In A Fairy Tale Come To Life

A chocolate king built a limestone palace on a hill so he could gaze down at his own candy factory. I can’t imagine a sweeter morning view than that. The house has 26,000 square feet, four limestone chimneys, and a grand porch held up by tall Ionic columns. Inside, stained glass glows above a sweeping staircase. A billiard room even shows painted scenes from the knightly tale Ivanhoe.

One Lancaster County fabric store opens its doors at 7:30 in the morning, which means some sewists are browsing bolts before most people finish their coffee. Another shop in the same county stocks more than 6,000 bolts, and I can’t decide if that sounds like heaven or a very pleasant trap.

Liquified manure, wads of uneaten hay, gallons of sour milk and juices from rotting cow carcasses. State environmental inspectors say those are the suspected ingredients of a toxic stew that has repeatedly overtaken a stream in northeast Maryland in recent years.
