Proposed Budget Doesn't Raise Taxes

People in Mt. Lebanon won't have a municipal tax increase next year if the manager's recommended budget passes muster with the commissioners in December. The $45.2 million spending plan keeps real estate taxes at 4.79 mills and the municipal earned income tax will remain at 0.8 percent of earned income.

Wow. This is amazing. This is what happens when you assess from a certain date instead of assessing at sales price. Got to hand it to Danny O, even if he is not part of my political party.

Before, the seller would take a huge hit on sales price because the buyer would have to pay such higher taxes.

Now, if they want to increase government spending, they must do it to everyone, instead of getting a big chunck each year from new homeowners.

Lebo may actually make it to the 20th century. Something I don't think St Clair is close to.

This is hope, since it is the 21st century.
