SORTA levy dispute may hurt buses here
A heated battle over SORTA five year levy fights to fund bus service expansion in Mt Washington Anderson Township and western Clermont County. Mayor Blackwell opposes the plan arguing it’s extravagant and too costly while supporters led by Blanton defend a $22 million facility and expanded routes including Sun Run and Beechmont service. Local officials split with Dorsey endorsing the levy as a transportation necessity and others opposing it as costly. Voters will decide the fate of the SORTA levy in upcoming ballots.
