Butler County Faces Possible Tax Hike for Elderly Services Levy
Arlene deSilva of the Council on Aging of Southwest Ohio told Butler County commissioners that the Nov. 8 ballot millage for an Elderly Services Program levy must rise from earlier plans. To fund growing demand and a Taft reform cut, voters may see a 1.95 mill levy instead of 1.8 mills, with the current rate at 1.3 mills, potentially raising more money over five years.
