Watchdog Lebanon Home Page
Lebanon Mayor Huck Lewis states on the City of Lebanon website that "by partnering with the ... (Greater Lebanon) Community Vision Committee (GLCVC), I will strive to make Lebanon a destination community." The 2010 Lebanon Schools Referendum supporters website defined what "destination community" means with the statement that "We need to be able to attract the RIGHT new residents to our community, young professionals and families who will pay to purchase homes and support our community." There is a controversial implication that many existing older and lower-income Lebanon citizens are WRONG for the community.
A community controversy exists in Lebanon between the GLCVC and citizens who favor orderly growth that pays for itself. Lebanon is primarily a bedroom community where most citizens want an affordable place to live that supports orderly municipal growth without extravagant tax subsidies and utility rate increases that support developers, such as the 12.4% increase in Lebanon’s 2012 property tax rate and the 18.6% increase in the residential customer electric rate sought by the Lebanon City Council in 2012. The cumulative negative impact of the developer-dominated GLCVC and their supporters is summarized at http://www.finplaneducation.net/lebanon_failed_vision.htm.
GLCVC supporters generally fall into two categories: (1) developers and related contractors who benefit from disorderly attempts at rapid development and (2) local citizens such as bankers, newspaper publishers, radio station owners, investment advisors, lawyers, hospital administrators, auto dealers, realtors, insurance agents, print shop owners, mortuary owners, and restaurant owners who believe that one more customer justifies any action no matter how detrimental to others. These two categories of GLCVC supporters (many of them from outside Boone County) supplied a large portion of the whopping $62,565.80 in campaign contributions to Friends of Huck Lewis since January 1, 2010, as detailed in the following spreadsheet.
