City voters weighed in on amending the Trenton charter with 1,808 voting against and 856 in favor. The tally reflects a civic decision on governance changes and potential structural updates.
In Trenton voters rejected a five year 1.5 mill fire services levy about 57 percent against and approved a charter amendment reinstating a 1.5 percent tax credit for residents who work outside the city. The outcomes threaten general fund services and possible staff cuts.
Monroe voters approve a 2 mill replacement property tax for the fire department with about 70 percent voting yes. The levy will generate roughly $525,000 annually to fund salaries, operating costs and equipment replacement, replacing an expiring levy and becoming permanent.
Voters across the area approved a five year 9.79 mill emergency levy for the Franklin City School District to fund programs and keep advanced classes. Many cited concern for children’s education, even as taxes rise, with supporters stressing opportunities and competitiveness.
In West Middletown on Tuesday, supporters and opponents of Madison Local Schools five year 9.79 mill emergency levy gathered along Ohio 122. Howard W. Hickman in a white Lincoln urged voting no while Madison High students promoted yes with honk signs. Voters cited higher taxes, budget concerns, and fear of reduced activities if the levy fails.
Springboro and Clearcreek Township voters again defeated a three year emergency operating levy that would fund Springboro schools at 7.2 million dollars yearly. The 10.46 mill levy failed 4702 to 4296 in final unofficial results.
