Outrage in East Stroudsburg Over Proposed 29% Property Tax Hike
At the December 17, 2024, East Stroudsburg Borough Council meeting, residents expressed outrage over a proposed 29% property tax increase. The meeting highlighted a striking financial disparity: non-taxable properties, including hospitals, East Stroudsburg University (ESU), and public schools, account for an estimated $3-$4 billion in property value, while taxable properties total only $400 million.Borough Manager Kelly Lewis emphasized the financial challenges caused by these exempt entities, described as “charitable institutions,” which are exempt from property taxes under Pennsylvania law.A Growing Burden on Property OwnersOne council member, Jane Gagliardo, argued for an even steeper 39% increase to address future budget concerns. However, her suggestion was met with strong opposition from residents, particularly given that over 15% of the borough’s population lives below the poverty line.

Modern Mythology: “The Song of Achilles” and “The Silence of the Girls”
This clash of modern/Greek mythology is an expose not meant for the weak: sharing the best modern mythology and its evolution through media.
Myths grow like trees, deep rooted yet fighting to reach the sunlight above a forest. They follow nature’s law, survival of the fittest–only the most relevant (and strong) stories survive to get passed down.
Greek myths were passed down orally for generations before being written down. They grew, adapted, and survived to stay relevant.
In his novel “Norse Mythology”, Neil Gaiman explains how the number of Norse myths left are the same amount we have of Theseus and Heracles in Greek myths. Norse myths failed to stay relevant and most of the old stories died out. By reteling myths in games, books, movies, and so much more the myths we have left have survived.
