Warren cities seek share of license fee revenue
Warren County municipalities jockey to receive a sizable portion of an estimated 675000 with a proposed 5 tax on license plates. Carlisle Franklin Mason Springboro Lebanon Waynesville passed ordinances to reroute funds for road improvements, while Mason would push over 100000 annually. If approved by the county, the state collection would favor cities, cutting county take and shifting about 27500 to Carlisle 72000 to Franklin and 70000 to Springboro. The county holds a public hearing at 10:30 am today on the fee increase.
