Lebanon residents frustrated by state legislators targeting property tax funding

Frustration over state legislative actions took center stage at the Lebanon City Council meeting on July 8, 2025. Council members voiced concerns about ongoing efforts by state legislators to eliminate inside millage, a move they believe could significantly impact local residents.

The council highlighted that these legislative changes are aimed at finding funding for property tax reductions, but the implications for Lebanon's community could be severe. "This impacts all the residents in the city of Lebanon," one council member stated, emphasizing the potential strain on local resources and services.

As discussions unfolded, the council underscored the need for vigilance and advocacy to protect the city's financial stability. The potential loss of inside millage could lead to budget shortfalls, affecting essential services that residents rely on.

The council plans to continue monitoring the situation closely and engage with state representatives to address these concerns. The outcome of these legislative efforts could shape the future of Lebanon's funding and services, making it a critical issue for the community.
