City Council | Meet Me In Midway

Mary currently serves as a Midway City Council member.

As of October 8, 2026, Mary C. RAGLIN’s website did not contain information on this issue.

Advocates limiting further industrial rezoning while Midway Station is under development.

Asked if it is time to stop rezoning of land for industry in and around Midway, Raglin said, “I would say Midway is a small, quaint, little, personable town. Let’s keep it that way. . . . Midway Station is a big enough project that will keep Midway busy for a while.”

Supports allowing additional time for property repairs when an owner is making progress, while calling for city action when an owner refuses repairs.

Asked what the city should do about the property at 116 E. Main St. if the owner doesn’t complete repairs by the building inspector’s deadline of Oct. 31, she said the owner should get more time if requested. “If he is making an effort in getting the repairs done but has not yet completed the job I would be a little more patient,” she said. “If he just flat out refuses to make the repairs, then the building inspector or the mayor/city council has to take the next step . . . whatever that is.”

Housing & Urban Development

Transportation & Infrastructure

Calls for more speed-limit signs to address speeding in Midway.

Speeding has been an issue in Midway for a long time. Raglin said, “I say put more speed-limit signs.”

Supports a new fire station that accommodates existing and future equipment and remains accessible to Midway Station.

Raglin said she supports the idea of a new fire station, “one that would be able to house all of the equipment we have and possibly have space for future equipment we made need later and still be accessible for the city of Midway at Midway Station.”

Public Safety

Education

Supports reducing property-tax rates, particularly to benefit older property owners.

The council has reduced property taxes as real-estate assessments have gone up. Raglin was asked if that should continue, or if the occupational tax should be reduced. “Reducing the property-tax rates would be very beneficial to all property owners, especially our elderly and our senior citizens,” she said. “I really need to take the time to study more about occupational taxes, though.”
