Chamber Endorses Better Schools Amendment in Point Pleasant

The Point Pleasant Chamber of Commerce board voted Wednesday to support the Better Schools Amendment. The measure, on the November ballot, would extend the maximum school levy time from three to five years and raise the top levy rate from 50 to 100 percent, with county voter approval required by a 60 percent margin. Directors said the change shifts funding closer to local control and could cover emergencies or rapid population growth, though Mason County’s appraisal program may already boost funds. Attending were president John Hushion and directors G. A. Biggs, Jack Fruth, and others, plus John Sayre, chamber managing director.
