Time for property owners to rise up in Trumbull County
Reader letter urges residents to oppose the 1979 reappraisal and 30 percent value increase proposed for Trumbull County. It warns of higher property taxes on homes and questions the lack of homeowner voting on levies while business and industry see value reductions. The writer cites a $30,000 Niles home rising to $39,000 and taxes from $419 to $544, with school taxes increasing from $335 to $435, and contends reappraisal every three years will force unaffordable outcomes.

Hot potato shifts in Ohio utilities fight during session
In Columbus on April 27 the 112th General Assembly adjourns with Harry Meshel frustrated by stalled efforts to ban Ohio Bell’s nine cent per local call rate for non residential customers. A Senate Joint Resolution pressured the Public Utilities Commission to draft a pricing plan by June 9, while House Speaker Vernal Riffe delayed action until committee review. Bill Hinig emerged as pivotal, steering House action and shifting support away from Meshel’s bill. The measure passes after a late pivot, described as a merit based re-evaluation.
