Chester County battles swarm of phorid flies

Phorid flies, small insects that often breed in moist areas, swarm homes and neighborhoods near Chester County mushroom farms each fall. This year, state officials are strengthening measures to control their spread. Eric Toedter is the founder and president of MYCOguard, a company that helps mushroom farms control pests. He said the flies feed on mushroom mycelium and can spread into nearby residential areas. They pose a challenge for farmers during the fall holiday season because fly populations peak when demand for mushrooms rises.

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
