Franklin County approves higher mill levy ceiling by 56 votes
Franklin County voters approve a higher general fund levy ceiling by 1,030 to 974 in a close countywide election. If fully utilized in 1989 it could raise up to 3.2 mills, though officials project 2.2 mills sufficient to cover a $130,000 shortfall. Tax impact varies by home value with a $50,000 residence paying about $19 more if the full 3.2 mills are levied.
