I-Tax Issue Adds Spice To County Ballot
Franklin County voters face a local intangibles tax decision along with selecting party candidates for November. The tax on interest income totals 3 percent split 2 percent to the voter's city or township and ¾ percent to the county. State law requires the form of the ballot and notes that removing the tax may shift revenue. Ottawa expects about $98,000 to its general fund this year, while the county anticipates roughly $42,000 in 1980. A county-wide half-cent sales tax is a possible alternative. Officials urge voter choice, with impacts not felt until 1982 and 1984. George Marstall, Anchor Savings manager and Ottawa city commissioner, criticizes the tax for penalizing savers and hindering local investments. An exemption exists for seniors or disabled with income under $15,000, influencing how much interest is taxed. Charles Clark notes about 2,000 of roughly 21,000 county residents received intangibles bills. County forecast calls for clear to partly cloudy conditions through Sunday, with highs of 105 to 110.
