Policy
During his tenure on the Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders from 2012 to 2018, Lyon fought to stabilize taxes, reduce debt, and maintain funding for law enforcement, education, human services, and infrastructure improvements. In 2012, Lyon was the only freeholder who voted against the proposed county budget, which included tax hikes. As chairman of the Freeholder Budget Committee in 2013, Lyon authored a county budget that kept property taxes flat for the first time in a generation while maintaining funding for essential programs and reducing debt. Lyon successfully championed similar budgets with zero-percent county tax increases in 2014 and 2015 budgets. == References ==
