Council Considers Request To Offer Discount On Bike Permits

Should senior citizens get a discount on the $50 a year it costs to register a gas powered bicycle in Mt. Carmel? That’s what a resident asked the city council to offer at their regular meeting on Monday. The resident said the gas powered bikes are their only mode of transportation and the $50 is a hardship for many senior citizens who have limited resources. The city council took the request under advisement and will look into the issue further.
