Last night, the Mt. Lebanon Commissioners approved a tax decrease. Mt. Lebanon reverses tax increase During the Citizen Comments portion of the meeting, residents spoke about the need for increased services, which would not occur with a tax decrease.
"At some point maybe a tax increase needs to be done, but right now is a tough time for a lot of people," Commissioner Joe DeIuliis said. "We've already had an increase in school taxes. Piling on at this point is not what's needed."
Yes, it is a tough time for a lot of people. But our community is deteriorating as a result of the increase in school taxes. Maybe the Commissioners will hold that thought when it comes time for the final vote for the High School renovation project.
